Trade Coins from the Bank of Israel


Upon the establishment of the State of Israel on May 15,1948 the government needed to promptly release currency. The Israel Numismatic Society submitted designs with the assistance of graphic artist Otte Wallish. The designs were approved by the Minister of Finance, Eliezer Kaplan.

The devices used for most of the coins are similar to the ancient Judean coins struck 2000 years ago.
