Comment
This is a specimen coin. Please see this article: http://israelerrorcoins.wixsite.com/coins/israel-specimen-coinsInteresting fact
This coin features a unique design that was never actually used in circulation. Instead, it was created as a pattern coin, which means it was produced as a prototype or sample for consideration by the Israeli government, but ultimately rejected. As a result, only a small number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
