The 1 Lira coin from Israel, which was minted between 1963 and 1967, features a unique design that reflects the country's cultural and religious heritage. On one side of the coin, there is an image of a menorah, which is a symbol of Judaism and represents the seven-branched candelabrum that was used in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem. The menorah is surrounded by an inscription in Hebrew that reads "Israel" and "One Lira." On the other side of the coin, there is a depiction of a stylized palm tree, which is a common motif in Israeli art and symbolizes peace and prosperity. The coin's design was created by the Israeli artist and sculptor, Yitzhak Danziger, who was known for his work in commemorative coins and medals.
