  • The Raid at Entebbe
  • In a 4,000-kilometer overnight mission, Israeli commandos landed at Entebbe Airport, storming the terminal where hostages were held. Within 90 minutes, they eliminated the terrorists and rescued the captives.
  • Symbols of Heroism
  • The obverse of the coin features: The Hercules aircraft, representing the long journey to Entebbe. A watchtower at the Entebbe airport, where hostages were held. The Star of David, symbolizing Israel’s commitment to protecting its people.
  • Honoring Yoni Netanyahu
