Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 08/25/2009 8:13 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 08/25/2009 8:31 pm 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 ...

thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 08/25/2009 9:09 pm 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. Edited by thai-vic 08/25/2009 9:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
