Comment
The Israeli Olympic Committee had recommended dedicating the Israel Coin to Windsurfing, the Olympic sport in which Israel was especially hoping to win medals, following previous successes. The prediction came true, when windsurfer Gal Friedman won an Olympic gold medal for the first time in Israel's history.
The coin was issued in cooperation with the Israel Olympic Committee and a portion of the proceeds from sales was given to the committee to assist in the financing of the Olympic delegation of Israel.
Interesting fact
The Windsurfing coin was issued to commemorate Israel's 50th anniversary of its independence, and it features a windsurfer in action on the obverse (front side), symbolizing the country's strong connection to the sea and its commitment to innovation and progress.
