The first 2020 issue of The Shekel includes articles on medals commemorating the Church Of The Nativity in Bethlehem, violinist Henryk Wieniawski, Jewish American women, the Six-Day War, and the Anwar Sadat Congressional Gold Medal; Palestine Mandate banknotes reproduced in silver; two articles about ancient Judaean Shekels; and a fascinating story about the coins issued by a Sephardic merchant of Barbados. The second issue will feature a comprehensive article about the 30 Pieces of Silver, by Haim Gitler, Curator of Numismatics at the Israel Museum.

A photograph of the Woman Suffrage Challenge Coin is above. The design is copied from the logo of the only Jewish women's organization in the world devoted exclusively to obtaining the right to vote for women – the Jewish League for Woman Suffrage – operating in England a century ago.
