The image of Moses holding the Tablets of the Law as he descends mount Sinai is depicted on the coin, symbolizing the basis of our existence as a nation and the foundation of human ethics for all monotheistic religions. This impressive coin conveys the glory and majesty of the giving of the Torah at mount Sinai.
