<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 26840, member: 669&quot;]That sounds like a great project.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t give you too much help, as I consider 1870 to be the dividing line between modern and ancient, and my collection is strictly modern. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, if it were me, the display would definitely have to include one 1949 Israeli coin as a symbol of the ending of the diaspora.</p><p><br /></p><p>(The only coin listed in Krause with a 1948 date is an aluminum 25 mils.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t actually released until April 6, 1949, so 1949 is truly the first year of coinage from the newly reconstituted Israel.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to the 25 mils, which is a little too pricey for your display budget anyhow, there are several 1949 coins with face values of 1-500 Prutah (1/2 Lira), all carrying catalog prices of $25 or less in Unc.&nbsp; Try an EBay search for Pruta/Prutah, as that denomination only lasted a few years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
