Interesting fact
The 2 New Sheqalim (Archeology) 5750 (1990) coin from Israel features an image of the ancient Israeli city of Masada, which was built on top of a rock plateau in the Judean Desert. The coin's design was inspired by the historic site's unique architecture and its rich history, which includes the famous siege of Masada in 73 CE, where Jewish rebels known as the Sicarii held out against the Roman Empire for several years before committing mass suicide rather than surrendering. The coin's image of Masada is surrounded by an inscription in Hebrew that reads "Masada, 2 New Sheqalim, 5750," and its obverse side features a portrait of a lion, which is a symbol of the tribe of Judah and represents the strength and resilience of the Jewish people.
