The obverse (not pictured) typically features a replica of a coin from the year 4 of the War of Jews against Rome, depicting a seven-branched candelabrum (Menorah) and the State Emblem.

Historical significance

Introduced in 1985 as part of the 'New Shekel' currency reform intended to curb hyperinflation in Israel. The design of the obverse is a historical link to ancient Judean coinage from the First Jewish-Roman War (66–73 CE).

Estimated value

$0.05 - $0.50 USD (Face value is approximately $0.03 USD; value depends on condition and mint year rarity)

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring skin oils to the surface. Store in a cool, dry place in a PVC-free sleeve or coin holder. Do not clean with abrasive chemicals, as this can permanently damage the numismatic value.
