The State of Israel’s first official series of coins. A boxed set prepared by Bank Leumi le-Israel, 1952–1954.
Nine coins of the following denominations: 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250 (two coins), and 500 prutot, and a 25-mil coin, 1949. The 250 and 500 pruta coins are made of silver. The coins are in a blue plastic container with a transparent acrylic plate bearing the caption "State of Israel 1949–1950," with Israel’s state seal.
This coin series was prepared by Bank Leumi in 1952–1954 for visitors, tourists, and collectors. Approximately 300 of these sets are known to exist, with slightly different versions of the caption on the acrylic plate.
Size of the plastic container: 10X17.5 cm. The caption on the acrylic plate is partially worn away.
