Interesting fact

The 5 Lirot coin with the Star of David was issued in 1979 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency. Instead, it was produced as a collector's item and was part of a yearly set of coins issued by the Bank of Israel. The coin features the Star of David, which is a symbol of the Jewish faith and is also the national symbol of Israel. The coin's design was created by the Israeli artist and sculptor, Yitzhak Danziger.
