How about some Israeli coins?

Post 'em if you've got 'em.
This was an e-Bay purchase that came back as MS69 - PCGS 2/0.
Commemorates the Victory of the 1967 Six-Day War.

My photograghy skills have not improved. The coins looks much better in person.

Israel - 1 Pruta - 1949

 

I hate pics like that!

 

1995 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. I thought this was a pretty interesting design with the US, British, and Soviet flags forming the "V".


PCGS Pop 2/0



PCGS Pop 1/0

 

Maybe just a few

 

thecoin - can you give some info on the coins?
And Taxidermist?

 

Sure.

10 agorot 2009, dug from circulation. Colors prettier in hand.

10 shkalim (hanukkah) 2008, minted 3000, only for sets. Star of David on reverse instead of last dot at 6 o'clock.

1 lira 1960, commemorative - 50th Anniversary of Deganya, oldest Kibbuz founded in 1909

10 pruta 1949 - circulation type, bronze of course (not aluminum).

250 pruta silver (H mintmark) - was not released for circulation eventually.

 

They are agora coins, don't know much else.

 

1/2 lira 1962, wasn't actually in circulation, comem. type.

 

Thanks folks - keep them coming!

 

25 Agorot, standard coin, minted 1960 - 79

 

Another commem...

 

My last one.... :-(

 

Just collect older types, instead of these, what I consider, modern bullion rounds. There are plenty of circulation and comem. issues from 1960s-1990s.

I collect Israel coins, can't post everything, but here are some more. These are proofs from from sets, not easy to shoot:
