Features bars in front of the sun, with inscription "Let My People Go" in Hebrew and English. The Berne Mint made one die for the silver-proof coins for the Jerusalem Mint and it was found to be unsatisfactory. The dies were then ordered from Kretschmer in Jerusalem. 80 coins were struck from this rejected die before it was destroyed. The coins exhibit a Matte finish on all of the high relief and a mirror surface. The Berne Die has an "open mem" and the lettering of the coin is inset from the rim. The key coin to complete the silver set. This coin was acquired by the consignor for $675, and similar coins have sold for up to $750. This example has lovely golden toning on sun-side, and is bright on the denomination-side. Surfaces are very choice. Proof. Estimated Value $400 - 500. Categories: World Crowns and Minors
