The following 25 Mils pieces represent key historical numismatica from the establishment of the State of Israel. Part of a scarce issue of coins, the following pieces are examples of the only coins to bear the historical date of the State's foundation - 1948. The 1948 issue represents just 42,500 units minted of a total issue of roughly 700,000 that was produced between 1948-49. Coins of these two years were minted during the course of the War of Independence from scarce aluminum (confiscated, in this case, from a reluctant supplier in order to produce these coins). This issue was commissioned and designed during the summer of 1948 and produced in Holon from a coining press which had been converted from an American steel press. The coins were punched from hand-fed sheets of metal, and under these make-shift conditions production was slow. One source estimates that only about six weeks were spent producing the 1948 coinage. Regardless of their simple aluminum base, these beautifully designed coins were produced under difficult circumstances in every sense and represent powerful symbols of the country's rebirth.
There are a variety of types of coins from this series and we will endeavor to carry them all for you.

Israel - 25 Mils, 1949 half link (error) issue, in aluminum, UNC. Minted on shiny toned aluminum similar to the closed-link 1949 issue, with similar 'munched' sections of the border-beads on obv. The 'half-link' was probably caused by the decaying of the makeshift dies used in the mintage of the 25 Mils series. This is an extremely nice piece with smooth surfaces and a wonderful shine.

Yefet, in which he writes that the medal's quotation, "faithful to your house and country", is an expression of the bank's tradition of accomplishments which he hopes the bank will continue to honor.

Israeli error coin: Half Shekel dated 1996-1997 (äúùð''æ) whose first letter "Hey" in the Hebrew date has become the letter "Khet" instead (making the date look like çúùð''æ ), probably due to a filled die. The presence of a slight serif which extends beyond the left verticle line of this "Khet" indicates that the letter should really be a "Hey", as the letter "Khet" does not have such a serif. Weighs 6.55g (which is in the correct range of 6.35 - 6.55g for genuine Half Shekel pieces). In EF, and highly unusual. Included for comparison are photos of a regular issued Half Shekel, placed to the right of photos of this piece.

Israeli forged(?) 1 Shekel coin dated 2000-2001 (äúùñ''à) with very thin, crooked lettering and poor detail; in VF-EF condition. Presented as a forgery, as I doubt this is any kind of pattern - though I've never seen something like this. Usually, forged Israeli pieces are die cast but otherwise pressed identically to a real piece. This one looks like someone handmade all the details from scratch - and poorly so. This piece weighs 4.10g, which is ironically similar to the Chanukka issue 1 Shekel coins (which all seem to weigh perfectly 4.00g); regular issue genuine 1 Shekel coins however weigh anywhere between 3.40 - 3.50g. Photos of a genuine piece are placed to the right of this one for comparison.

Smooth-surfaced and nicely toned zinc color exhibiting radiant luster and very full detail. The piece has very, very light oxidation on the obverse.
