Israel Special Issue 5 New Sheqalim \"With Gratitude\" 2021 Coin UNC
Description:
The new circulating commemorative 5-new-Israeli-shekel coin was issued to celebrate the sacrifice of healthcare workers during the Corona pandemic.
The coin is “dedicated in gratitude to the medical personnel in Israel for their contribution and struggle for the lives and health of Israel’s citizens during the Corona pandemic,” according to an announcement from the Bank of Israel.
A design competition among 15 graphic designers in Israel was used to choose the obverse design of the coin. The Public Committee for the Planning of Banknotes, Coins and Commemorative Coins, chaired by retired Supreme Court Justice Jacob Turkel, chose three finalists, and Bank of Israel Governor Amir Yaron selected the winning design, by artist Eitan Alon.
It appears to show a masked doctor, with stethoscope dangling into the scene, holding a patient’s hands.
The copper-nickel coin has the same reverse design as the standard circulating coin, dominated by the denomination numeral 5, and featuring the country name. In addition, the denomination and date are each listed in Hebrew, Arabic and English.
The new commemorative coin weighs 8.2 grams and measures 24 millimeters in diameter.
The coin shown on the images is the coin you get.
