Comment
This is a specimen coin. Please see this article: http://israelerrorcoins.wixsite.com/coins/israel-specimen-coinsBirmingham mint. cf. KM12 (in Copper-Nickel).
Interesting fact
This coin features a unique design that was never actually circulated, making it a rare and valuable collector's item. The obverse side of the coin depicts a menorah, a symbol of Judaism and the State of Israel, surrounded by the Hebrew words "Israel" and "5709" (the Hebrew year corresponding to 1949). The reverse side features a stylized image of a palm tree, representing peace and prosperity, along with the denomination "25 Pruta" and the word "Specimen" in Hebrew. This coin is particularly interesting because it was minted in a very small quantity, with only 100 specimens produced, making it a highly sought-after collectible among numismatists and enthusiasts of Israeli history and culture.
