Interesting fact
The 25 Lirot (David Ben Gurion) 5734 (1974) coin from Israel was designed by renowned Israeli sculptor and coin designer, Yitzhak Danziger. Danziger was known for his unique style that combined traditional Jewish motifs with modern artistic techniques, and his designs were often used on Israeli coins and stamps. The coin features a portrait of David Ben Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister, on one side, and a depiction of the Seven Species of Israel (wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates) on the other. The use of these symbols reflects the importance of agriculture and the connection to the land in Israeli culture and tradition.
