<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pinchas BZ, post: 1694836, member: 41783&quot;]<b>1 New Sheqel Type I and Type II</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>KM # 160 was the cupro-nickel version dated 1985 (5745) through 1993 (HE 5753), which has no raised and incused dot below the State emblem. This version is non-magnetic and weighs 4 gr.</p><p><br /></p><p>As from 1994 (HE 5754) the composition was changed to nickel bonded steel. This version - KM # 160a - has the small raised and incused dot below the State emblem. This version is magnetic. It is also lighter at 3.6 gr. Version II was minted intermittently until 2007 (HE 5767).</p><p><br /></p><p>If KP adopts the input of several Israeli collectors, all coins dated from 2009 (HE 5769) onwards should be labeled as Type III, and KP may decide to list them as KM # 160b. On this version the word Israel in Arabic is spelled differently with an additional punctuation below the first letter Aliph.
