Israel Coin Info for the collector Here is a great website from the Bank of Israel outlining all past and current circulating Israeli Coins and Notes. If you have an interest in Israeli Coins, you should join the American Israeli Numismatic Association today. Also, for those of you having problems with Israeli dates....check this out. Here is a Hebrew/Israeli Date Calendar I found on line.... It may be found below. Thanks to Vitaly Rabinovich from Haifa, Israel. 1. The Hebrew Calendar is based on a lunar month so the year is about 11 days shorter than the Christian (solar) year and there are no constant Christian dates of Jewish holidays 2. There is a cycle of 19 Hebrew years and additional month is added to some of the years, so this cycle is equal to 19 solar years. Therefore there is no growing delay between the Hebrew and the Christian calendars as for example between the Christian and the Islamic. 3. The Jewish New Year (JNY) is celebrated during September – October. The Year 2000 is 5760 by Hebrew calendar. The Year 5760 started at Jewish New Year of 1999 and lasted till Jewish New Year of 2000. 4. To calculate the Christian Year (CE) according to Hebrew Year (HE) : a. CE = HE – 3760 for dates from 1/1 till the JNY b. CE = HE – 3761 for dates from JNY till 31/12 5. The Hanukkah holiday is celebrated at December therefore you should use the 4.b. formula for Hanukkah coins 6. Conversion table between the Hebrew years appearing on Israeli coins and the corresponding Christian years according to the 4.a. formula : 1948 -* תש"ח 1949 - תש"ט 1950 - תש"י 1951 - תשי"א 1952 - תשי"ב 1953 - תשי"ג 1954 - תשי"ד 1955 - תשט"ו 1956 - תשט"ז 1957 - תשי"ז 1958 - תשי"ח 1959 - תשי"ט 1960 - תש"ך 1961 - תשכ"א 1962 - תשכ"ב 1963 - תשכ"ג 1964 - תשכ"ד 1965 - תשכ"ה 1966 - תשכ"ו 1967 - תשכ"ז 1968 - תשכ"ח 1969 - תשכ"ט 1970 - תש"ל 1971 - תשל"א 1972 - תשל"ב 1973 - תשל"ג 1974 - תשל"ד 1975 - תשל"ה 1976 - תשל"ו 1977 - תשל"ז 1978 - תשל"ח 1979 - תשל"ט 1980 - תש"ם 1981 - תשמ"א 1982 - התשמ"ב 1983 - התשמ"ג 1984 - התשמ"ד 1985 - התשמ"ה 1986 - התשמ"ו 1987 - התשמ"ז 1988 - התשמ"ח 1989 - התשמ"ט 1990 - התש"ן 1991 - התשנ"א 1992 - התשנ"ב 1993 - התשנ"ג 1994 - התשנ"ד 1995 - התשנ"ה 1996 - התשנ"ו 1997 - התשנ"ז 1998 - התשנ"ח 1999 - התשנ"ט 2000 - התש"ס 2001 - התשס"א 2002 - תשס"ב 2003 - התשס"ג Vitaly's numismatic website may be found here Shalom Mike
I took Hebrew more than a few years ago, but ... Correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember that Hebrew doesn't have numbers, per se. Aleph (the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet) is used to represent 1, Bet (the second) is 2, and so on. I don't recall what happened when you got to big numbers like 5760, because that system wouldn't use a sheen (the letter that looks like a twisted E) the way it's used here.
My last Hebrew class was almost 60 years ago, and I don't even remember the names of most of the letters. According to the chart in Krause, Hebrew has no character used as zero, so there are individual characters for 1-10, the decades 20 through 100, and the 100s through 400. The system is similar, but not exactly like, the Roman Numeral system, so for example 760 is expressed as 300,400,60 with implied plus signs. There must be a way to go higher, but you'll have to ask someone else, as Krause doesn't explain it.
