| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a figurative scene of the patriarch Abraham gazing upward toward a star-filled night sky, rendered in a narrative artistic style evoking the biblical account of Genesis 15. The figure of Abraham is shown in a contemplative posture, his gaze directed heavenward, symbolizing G-d's covenant promise that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars. The composition conveys depth and spiritual reflection through the contrast between the solitary human figure and the vast expanse of the heavens above. |
