Interesting fact
The 5 Sheqalim coin from Israel, which was minted between 1982 and 1985, features a unique design that reflects the country's cultural and religious heritage. On one side of the coin, there is an image of a menorah, which is a symbol of Judaism and represents the seven-branched candelabrum that was used in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem. The menorah is surrounded by an olive wreath, which is a symbol of peace and prosperity. On the other side of the coin, there is a depiction of a stylized palm tree, which is a common motif in Israeli art and architecture. The palm tree is often seen as a symbol of hope, peace, and prosperity in Jewish tradition. I hope you find this information interesting and helpful!
