Israeli or Palestinian Coins, Need Help on ID

I have some coins that I cannot identify. The writing appears to be Hebrew with no dates. Only one type of coin actually says Israel in English on it. I believe these are more modern coins, but any help is greatly appreciated.

I have six coins so I will do a new reply for each one. Pics are too large for one post.

Coin # 2

My apologies, I cannot read the language on the coins.

 

Coin #3

 

Coin #4

 

Coin #5

 

Coin #6

 

I have no idea if they are legal tender coins but they are from Israel and not from Palestine. They say Lira and Puhtah and I doubt and Arabs would make coins with Hebrew.

Thank you in advance for your help.

 

actually they have dates as well from the Jewish calender.

 

Is that what they all say? Coin #1 is actually from Israel, I searched it and it is one of the fist coins Israel minted after it became a state. I cannot identify the date on the coin but the patterns on both sides match what listed on the Bank of Israels coin information page. The rest I have no way to personally identify them. These coins are from my families travels over the world from the last couple generations. They were not purchased as novelties but to purchase goods on travels. I have a Palestinian 2 mils from 1942 and some of the writing is similar as on these, thats the only reason I ask.

 

Yud Shin Resh Aleph Lamud ... that spells Israel

 

Thank you Mrbrklyn. I appreciate you helping me out on these.

 

Do you think if I brought them to my local Temple they could help identify them?

 

Can anyone read the Hebrew calander dates and tell me what they are? I can convert it to the Gregorian calendar, I just can't read Hebrew.

 

If the writing to the right of "Israel" on the Coin #1 is Hebrew for Israel, They all say Israel. Is the date directly under the coins denomination or is it the one further to the bottom?

All the coins are from Israel.
Coin 1- km#47.1, 1 Lirah 1970
Coin 2- km#14, 100 Prutah 1949
Coin 3- 50 Prutah 1949
Coin 4- km#11, 10 Prutah 1949
Coin 5- 5 Agorot Bronze 1950
Coin 6- km#26, 10 Agorot 1964 aluminum bronze

I'm not sure of the attribution on Coin 3 and 5 and Coin 1 is not the first coin minted by Israel after its statehood; but this one is:

 

You might have a better chance of bringing them to a synagogue because there are Jews there. Outside of the Masonic lodges, there aren't too many Temples in North America, but there are still the remains of a few in Greece and Syria.

Thousands are counted separately, and the thousands count precedes the rest of the number (to the right, since Hebrew is read from right to left). There are no special marks to signify that the “count” is starting over with thousands, which can theoretically lead to ambiguity, although a single quote mark is sometimes used after the letter. When specifying years of the Hebrew calendar in the present millennium, writers usually omit the thousands (which is presently 5 [‫ה‬]), but if they don't, this is accepted to mean 5 * 1000, with no ambiguity. The current Israeli coinage includes the thousands.

Date examples

“Monday, 15 Adar 5764” (where 5764 = 5(×1000) + 400 + 300 + 60 + 4, and 15 = 9 + 6):

In full (with thousands): “Monday, 15(th) of Adar, 5764”
‫יום שני ט״ו באדר ה׳תשס״ד‬

Common usage (omitting thousands): “Monday, 15(th) of Adar, (5)764”
‫יום שני ט״ו באדר תשס״ד‬

“Thursday, 3 Nisan 5767” (where 5767 = 5(×1000) + 400 + 300 + 60 + 7):

In full (with thousands): “Thursday, 3(rd) of Nisan, 5767”
‫יום חמישי ג׳ בניסן ה׳תשס״ז‬

Common usage (omitting thousands): “Thursday, 3(rd) of Nisan, (5)767”
‫יום חמישי ג׳ בניסן תשס״ז‬

To see how today's date in the Hebrew calendar is written, see, for example, the dateline at the top of the Haaretz Online home page.

Recent years

5768 (2007–08) = ‫תשס״ח‬

5767 (2006–07) = ‫תשס״ז‎‬

5766 (2005–06) = ‫תשס״ו‎‬

5765 (2004–05) = ‫תשס״ה‎‬

 

your the man. How did you become so versed in Hebrew dates?
