Comment

The Ingathering of Exiles is the main challenge facing the State of Israel. The supreme importance of this cornerstone of modern Israel found expression in the Declaration of Independence in the "Law of Return" which guarantees every Jew the right of Aliya (ascent) to Israel. The history of modern day return to Zion is replete with the fascinating exploits of the successive Aliyot which began prior to the establishment of the State. Many Jews made Aliya in order to fulfill the Messianic dream. Others were moved by the Zionist vision, while still others fled lands of oppression seeking a safe haven. By 1991, Israel had absorbed over 2 million immigrants. The Jewish Agency promoted Aliya, funded the transfer of Jews to Israel, and assisted in their absorption.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the State of Israel's independence, and the theme of the coin reflects the country's history of immigration and absorption. The coin's design features a stylized image of a menorah, symbolizing the Jewish people's connection to their heritage and culture, and an olive branch, representing peace and unity. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
