ccg Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 First one is an agorah of 1960-80, second one is a "new agorah" issued 1980-82. Currency reforms in 1980, and 1985 respectively have rendered both coins worthless as currency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hey Guys here is another coin of unknown origin. If anybody could help me as to the Country that this coin belongs to it would be a great help. It has arabic writing as you can see by the picture, palm trees on one and wheat on the other. The reverse has more arabic and a numerical 1. The pictures arent the best but thank you. The one with the three wheat straws is an Israel 1 agorah (1958-1980). KM # 24.1 The one with the palm tree is an Israel 10 agorot (1960-1977). KM # 26 I can't read Hebrew or convert the calendar, so I don't know the exact dates. Also, there are some varieties that might required both sides, but I think the Krause numbers are correct.

gxseries Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Wow, I tried to read it, but I found hebrew numerals far too complex to my likings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_numerals I only figured out a 30 and a 4 in the left side, but not anything more... how knows if that's referred to a hebrew calender date...

Michael M Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Here is a great website from the Bank of Israel outlining all past and current circulating Israeli Coins and Notes. If you have an interest in Israeli Coins, you should join the American Israeli Numismatic Association today. Also, for those of you haveing problems with Israeli dates....check this out. Here is another Hebrew/Israeli Date Calendar I found on line.... It may be found HERE or below. Thanks to Vitaly Rabinovich from Haifa, Israel. 1. The Hebrew Calendar is based on a lunar month so the year is about 11 days shorter than the Christian (solar) year and there are no constant Christian dates of Jewish holidays 2. There is a cycle of 19 Hebrew years and additional month is added to some of the years, so this cycle is equal to 19 solar years. Therefore there is no growing delay between the Hebrew and the Christian calendars as for example between the Christian and the Islamic. 3. The Jewish New Year (JNY) is celebrated during September – October. The Year 2000 is 5760 by Hebrew calendar. The Year 5760 started at Jewish New Year of 1999 and lasted till Jewish New Year of 2000. 4. To calculate the Christian Year (CE) according to Hebrew Year (HE) : a. CE = HE – 3760 for dates from 1/1 till the JNY b. CE = HE – 3761 for dates from JNY till 31/12 5. The Hanukkah holiday is celebrated at December therefore you should use the 4.b. formula for Hanukkah coins 6. Conversion table between the Hebrew years appearing on Israeli coins and the corresponding Christian years according to the 4.a. formula : 1948 -* תש"ח 1949 - תש"ט 1950 - תש"י 1951 - תשי"א 1952 - תשי"ב 1953 - תשי"ג 1954 - תשי"ד 1955 - תשט"ו 1956 - תשט"ז 1957 - תשי"ז 1958 - תשי"ח 1959 - תשי"ט 1960 - תש"ך 1961 - תשכ"א 1962 - תשכ"ב 1963 - תשכ"ג 1964 - תשכ"ד 1965 - תשכ"ה 1966 - תשכ"ו 1967 - תשכ"ז 1968 - תשכ"ח 1969 - תשכ"ט 1970 - תש"ל 1971 - תשל"א 1972 - תשל"ב 1973 - תשל"ג 1974 - תשל"ד 1975 - תשל"ה 1976 - תשל"ו 1977 - תשל"ז 1978 - תשל"ח 1979 - תשל"ט 1980 - תש"ם 1981 - תשמ"א 1982 - התשמ"ב 1983 - התשמ"ג 1984 - התשמ"ד 1985 - התשמ"ה 1986 - התשמ"ו 1987 - התשמ"ז 1988 - התשמ"ח 1989 - התשמ"ט 1990 - התש"ן 1991 - התשנ"א 1992 - התשנ"ב 1993 - התשנ"ג 1994 - התשנ"ד 1995 - התשנ"ה 1996 - התשנ"ו 1997 - התשנ"ז 1998 - התשנ"ח 1999 - התשנ"ט 2000 - התש"ס 2001 - התשס"א 2002 - תשס"ב 2003 - התשס"ג Vitaly's numismatic website may be found here Shalom Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Cordeiro Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Ya know, That's one of the great things about a site like this. An unknown coin will not be unknown for long. Perfect strangers, or slightly bruised ones for that matter, are willing to assist other forum members whom they dont know, expecting nothing in return. Wish the rest of the world worked that way My hats off to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
