I have recently purchased several coins and have obtained a
small supply of some hard to find Hanukkah Coins. The 5
agorot coins are already getting harder to find, these are even
harder and they are in UNCIRCULATED condition.
I also have a 5x7
framed print cointaining a regular 5 agorot coin with
explanation and Biblical New Testament
references listed. These are
no longer minted.
Get them while you can!
INFORMATION ON THIS
AWESOME COIN:
-
Date of Coin:
5752 (1992)
-
January 1, 2008 is when the 5 agorot coin ceased
to be legal tender in Israel
-
The coin cost about 3 times its face
value to mint, hence its disuse.
-
Every year I go to Israel I look for them, but
they are becoming
harder and harder to find
-
The coin is
so small in face value Israel
stopped minting it a few years ago and then stopped using
it (this is kind of like the New Testament story, the coin
was
such a small amount but the widow gave more than the others
because she gave all that she had)
-
Many Israelis do not know the
significance of the
ancient
coin represented on back of this
modern coin. They usually ask me why I'm
looking for them because they are
such a small amount, not even worth their time to count. So,
I get to tell them how Yeshua (Jesus) used it as a teaching
example (see Mark 12:41-44)
-
OBVERSE: Replica of a coin from the fourth year of
the war of the Jews against Rome (also referred to as the lepton or
mite). It is the side of the coin that depicts
a lulav between two
etrogim. There is also a menorah (the emblem of the
State of Israel) with the word "Israel" in Hebrew, Arabic, and
English.
-
REVERSE: 5 Agorot in Hebrew and English along with
the Date in Hebrew letters. There is also a smal HANUKKAH
MENORAH witht the word HANNUKAH in English and Hebrew (very
cool).
