Jerusalem and Paris are both cities with rich and illustrious histories. Both have played major roles in world history. Each is unique in character. Paris is the city of lights which has long provided creative inspiration and artistic and personal freedom. Millions of visitors each year see its famous sites: the Louvre, Champs Elysees, Arc de Triomphe, and Eiffel Tower. Paris was the vortex of the French Revolution. Jerusalem is a city of spirituality and of wisdom, a city with a heavenly counterpart. For the Jewish people, there is no substitute for this city, which King David chose to be Israel's capital and in which Solomon constructed the Temple. The pilgrims who arrive to pray in the city all hope that it will indeed become the City of Peace.
 
 
Obverse
Sites in Jerusalem: the Western Wall, the Broad Wall dated to the Early Iron Age, the Burnt House, Yad Vashem, the Knesset, Israel Museum and the Dome of the Rock. Above the sites, the arch which formed part of the Hurva Synagogue in the Jewish Quarter, symbolizing destruction but a harbinger of redemption, renewal and peace, like the rainbow. In the upper portion, along the circumference, 'JERUSALEM" in Hebrew and English.
 
Reverse 
Five sites typical of the French capital: from right to left: Notre Dame Cathedral, Sacre Coeur Cathedral, Academie Frangaise, Eiffel Tower, and Arc de Triomphe. Above "PARIS" in Hebrew and Latin letters.
