The design on the reverse of the coin depicts the Church of St. John the Baptist looking through its gate. The Catholic church is surrounded by typical vegetation for the village of Ein Karem. In the coin field on the right, the denomination and the year of issue are shown below each other in the three languages, and the mintmark, the Star of David, is placed below. The inscription "JERUSALEM" and its transliteration in Hebrew and Arabic appear near the upper edge. The description at the bottom right gives the purity and weight of the metal '1 OZ.

The inspiration for the "Famous Lion of Megiddo" motif on the obverse was an ancient seal from the 8th century BC found at Megiddo (Armageddon) in the Jordan Valley. The seal belonged to Shem, a servant of King Jeroboam II, who was king of Israel during the time of the prophet Amos. The lion is also a symbol of the tribes of Judah and Jerusalem. The same lion of Megiddo was depicted on the Israeli five lira note in 1958, the five lira coin in 1978 and the half shekel coin in 1980. Above the lion is the Israeli national emblem and below it the inscription "ISRAEL" in English, Hebrew and Arabic. The obverse of all coins in this series is by Meir Eshel.
Each gold investment coin comes in a collectible gift box along with a certificate of authenticity.
Ein Karem is a charming village located in the hills southwest of ancient Jerusalem. It is known for its holy sites, including the Church of St. John the Baptist and the Mary Spring. According to Christian tradition, Mary's Spring is the spring of water from which the Virgin Mary drank.
Today, the narrow streets of Ein Karem are lined with galleries and art shops, as well as attractive cafes and restaurants. Over the years, many Jerusalemites have discovered the charm of this picturesque rural neighborhood, and today Ein Karem is a popular tourist destination that attracts thousands of tourists from Israel and abroad.
