Comment

Some coins are found with a blistering or a bubbling in the metal. This is said to be caused by the nickel not adhering to the steel properly. When this became apparent, more copper was added to the nickel for the balance of planchets. The "blistered" coins are rare in uncirculated condition.

Interesting fact

The 25 Pruta coin was designed by Israeli artist and sculptor, Meir Schulsinger, and features a depiction of a pomegranate on one side, which is a symbol of fertility and abundance in Jewish tradition.
