[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 1521625, member: 39"]Hmm, this is not a bullion coin. Israel only started its series of bullion pieces (face value 20 sheqalim) in 2010. Those coins or "coins" feature various sites in Jerusalem. This new issue, however, is part of the Unesco Cultural Heritage series. That series began in 2006 (Tel Aviv White City); the second one (Masada) was issued in 2009, and now comes Megiddo. Those Unesco coins are issued in three versions: 1 sheqel silver 14.4 g, 2 sheqalim silver 28.8 g, and 10 sheqalim gold. Thus no equivalent to the Polish 2 złote pieces, but at least the silver issues are not totally out of reach. ;) "PS" - The Unesco Cultural Heritage series from Germany is similarly bad. Sure, mintages are much higher than Israel's very low figures, but you don't have a choice: Every issue comes as a half ounce gold piece only ... Christian[/QUOTE]
