Visual description

Israeli 2 New Sheqalim coin, presented on a vibrant yellow background. The visible side reveals a finely engraved decoration depicting a symmetrical composition around a stylized central fruit, most likely a pomegranate, surrounded by two leafy branches, each adorned with clusters, typical of the motifs used in Israeli numismatics. A row of dots borders the edge of the coin, giving it a neat appearance.

At the top, a rectangular coat of arms containing an emblem, identifiable as the official coat of arms of the State of Israel, is clearly visible. The surface of the coin has a uniform metallic appearance, with a matte grey hue, and a slight patina visible from certain angles, which enhances its vintage character.

The reliefs are well-defined: the central fruit, the branches, the small circular motifs, and the emblem are all in slight relief compared to the background. No text is visible on this side; only decorative and heraldic elements are present.

The edge of the coin is not visible in the photo, and only the obverse is shown. The whole presents a regular finish, with no chips or major scratches apparent under this lighting.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Presence of a slight patina and micro-traces of use visible on the surface, with no notable structural defects on the shown side.

Did you know? The stylized pomegranate is a recurring symbol on Israeli coins, inspired by ancient motifs discovered during archaeological excavations. It evokes abundance, fertility, and holds an important place in the iconography of Israeli heritage.
