@triggersmob - thanks for that link! I had many different bookmarks for pages to help me translate dates, but this one has everything I need all in one place!

The interesting thing about these coins, is their high face value. In New Zealand Dollars, 10 shequalim is about $4.25 or around $3 US.
That is one of the highest face value coins in current use, above the £2 and €2 and only behind coins like 5 Swiss Francs and 500 Yen.
I only have one 10 shequel coin and about 7 5 shequel ones including a commem with Chaim Weizmann.

Numised - you only need the date numbers which are quite easy to discern on the image provided. Look for the quotation mark as a guide. In this case:
5 " 50 300 400 5
Sometimes the style of the numbers can be a tad difficult but not in this case. As Bigsilver says - it's 1995.

Ok, I got it but why is it written left to right? I thought Hebrew is read right to left? If you read the information on the link I provided, you would have seen this. Hope that helps. Quote:
Modern Israel's coins carry Hebrew dating formed from a combination of the 22 consonant letters of the Hebrew alphabet and should be read from right to left. Nevertheless, to get the correct output from the converter you must enter the symbols as you see them from left to right, which is not correct from the Hebrew point of view. This step was taken so Europeans wouldn't get confused, as many of them know nothing about the rules of the Hebrew language. Steve :) |
