Just received from an ebay win.

This is one of a series of 59 coins from the British Mandate of Palestine. I am continuing my quest to build a set in AU-58+ condition.

G'day, lovely coin.
I keep an eye open for Palestinian coins, as it would be nifty to "get the whole set" with only 59 coins.

A question has just occurred to me: am I right in thinking that a "mil" was a one-thousandth of a British pound ? Which would make it nearly equivalent to a farthing ...

Yes Peter Thomas, 1,000 Mils = 1 Pound. But it was the Palestine Pound. It was, however, on a par with the pound sterling so it would be the equivalent of about a farthing. This parity also applied to the Egyptian Pound (= 1,000 milliemes) at that time.
Nice coin by the way Zohar.
