Comment
For the Hebrew lettering of Palestine "פלשתינה" on the obverse side of the coin, there is a small acronym after it in brakes "(א"י)", which is shortened for "ארץ ישראל" (Land of Israel), the name used since biblical times to the present by the Jewish People for the geographical area that made up the lands of ancient Judea, the British Mandate of Palestine and later the State of Israel.Interesting fact
The 100 Mils coin from British Palestine (now Israel) was minted during a time of significant political and social change in the region. The coin was introduced in 1927, just a few years after the British Mandate for Palestine was established, and it remained in circulation until 1942, when the British Mandate was dissolved and the State of Israel was established. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the complex and multifaceted nature of the region during that time. It features an image of the British monarch on one side and an inscription in Hebrew, Arabic, and English on the other, symbolizing the diverse cultural and linguistic influences that shaped the region. Today, this coin is a sought-after collector's item that offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. It serves as a reminder of the complex and often challenging path that led to the establishment of the State of Israel, and it continues to be a source of fascination and inspiration for coin collectors and history enthusiasts around the world.
