Overview

The obverse features an amphora (ancient wine jar) flanked by the word 'Israel' in Hebrew and Arabic. The reverse shows the value and date within a wreath.

Historical significance

This coin belongs to the 'Pruta' series, which was the first currency series issued by the state of Israel following its independence. The design motifs were inspired by ancient Jewish coins from the Bar Kokhba revolt against the Romans (132-135 CE), symbolizing a link between the modern state and its ancient history.

Estimated value

$0.50 - $3.00 USD (depending on condition)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing, as this can remove the natural patina and significantly decrease the numismatic value. Use archival-quality coin holders (2x2s or capsules) to prevent environmental damage.
