Modern Jewish settlement of the Land of Israel started well before the First Aliya of 1881-1882. The Alliance Israelite Universelle was founded in Paris in 1860, being the first Jewish organization aiming at combating antisemitism and social discrimination against Jews worldwide. Along with its political activities it undertook to establish an educational network, establishing schools in fifteen countries where there were Jewish communities. In 1870, on the initiative of Karl Netter, Mikveh Israel, the first agricultural school in the Land of Israel was founded. The aim was to develop a new generation of Jews who would find themselves an honorable livelihood in agricultural pursuits.

The coin is dedicated to the centennial of Mikveh Israel and shows on its obverse a schematic plow. Below it are the words "Kol Israel Haverim", the Hebrew name of Alliance Israelite Universelle. On the reverse, flanked on the left by a spikelet of corn, is the original school building, which today is carefully kept as a national monument.
A small 'Mem' mintmark appears on the Proof coin's obverse at the extreme right, between the handle of the plow and the right edge of the coin.
Double-strikes of both types exist.
