Comment
Among his opening words in the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel, David Ben Gurion declared that the Jewish People "gave the eternal Book of Books to the world".The Torah, the most valued treasure of the Jewish People, was given to us through Moses, the greatest prophet. The image of Moses holding the Tablets of the Law as he descends mount Sinai is depicted on the coin, symbolizing the basis of our existence as a nation and the foundation of human ethics for all monotheistic religions. This impressive coin conveys the glory and majesty of the giving of the Torah at mount Sinai.
In 2005, it was awarded with first prize as the "Most Inspirational Coin" in the Coin of the Year Competition, organized annually by the large numismatic publishing house, Krause Publications.
Interesting fact
The 10 New Sheqalim coin featuring Moses and the Ten Commandments from Israel is a unique and interesting coin. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted with a unique technique called "proof" minting, which involves multiple strikes of the die to create a highly detailed and polished finish. This process gives the coin a distinctive look, with frosted reliefs against a mirror-like background, making it a standout piece in any collection.
