svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 09/14/2010 11:22 pm It's one of those that is too close to call. It could be 1986, at least I'd give it my vote. Report this Post to the Staff
Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 09/15/2010 06:12 am The Hebrew date on the coin is 5746 which converts to the Gregorian year 1985/86 since the Hebrew year 5746 began on September 15 1985 Report this Post to the Staff
Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 09/15/2010 3:40 pm I have just found amongst my collection the 5747 (86/87) version. Note the last letter (figure) in the date. It is a zayin the seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet whereas yours appears to be a vav, the sixth letter. It is difficult to see the difference on coins but the zayin has a sort of bar on the top.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/16/2010 1:18 pm The second coin is a hanukkha coin issued annually since 1984 to mark the Jewish holiday. Edited by Conder101 09/16/2010 1:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 09/17/2010 07:59 am Looking at your coin again there appears to be something wrong with the date. The vav is upside down. I don't know whether this is commomn or not but here is a picture showing how the date should look. Report this Post to the Staff
