The NIS 200 banknote of series III of the New Shekel (note the departure from the English transliteration Sheqel and Sheqalim in favor of Shekel and Shekels) is dedicated to Nathan Alterman (1910-1970), poet, playwright, journalist and translator.
On the obverse of the banknote, Nathan Alterman's effigy is flanked on the left by autumn leaves' inspired by his poem "Eternal Meeting".
The
designer used the image depicted above, but had to use a mirror image to comply with design basics.
On the reverse, below the serial number, appears a passage from the poem "Morning Song": "We love you, motherland, with joy, with song and with toil". The left part is dominated by moonlit flora, also inspired by a passage from the poem "Eternal Meeting": "There the moon blazes as the cook’s kiss, there a damp sky thunders its cough, there a tree lowers its branch for me as a handkerchief..."
