NEW BOOK: COINS, BANKNOTES, TOKENS OF ISRAEL

An article by Hans Ludwig Grabowski on the Geldsheine Online site describes a new book on the coins, banknotes and tokens of Israel. Here's a Google-translated version. -Editor

Guide Book – Coins, Banknotes and Tokens of Israel 2022/23

224 pages, illustrated in color throughout,
Format 16.5 cm x 23.7 cm, paperback, Isranumis 2022,
Price: 25.00 euros.
Without ISBN.

In the new bilingual (Hebrew and English) catalog and price guide on the Israeli coins and banknotes, those of the State of Israel and the British Mandate of Palestine and primary trademarks from the preceding period of Ottoman rule to the present are extensively described including variants, illustrated in color and in US - valued in dollars.

As both Hebrew and Arabic books are read from back to front, the catalog begins with the Hebrew title with the coins under the British Mandate from 1927 to 1948, followed by those of the State of Israel from 1948 in the various currencies. Samples and incorrect embossing are then also listed.

The coin catalog concludes with a table of all commemorative coins issued by the State of Israel from 1958 to 2001. The coin section covers just over a hundred pages and is followed by the catalog section on paper money. This begins with the rare checks from the Anglo-Palestine Company from 1914, followed by the extremely rare and highly sought-after issues from the British Mandate of Palestine from 1927, including forgeries and also rare emergency issues. The last issues under British mandate were those of the Anglo-Palestine Bank from 1948. This is followed by Israel's paper money including sample certificates and cataloging of sheet parts. The paper money part comes in almost 100 book pages. The end or the beginning - depending on which title you open the catalog from - form so-called tokens (substitute money from trading companies),

As a concordance to our own cataloging, the catalog numbers are listed according to the well-known Krause catalogs "World Coins" and "World Paper Money" as well as to Sylvia Haffner (Judaic Tokens) and Owen W. Linzmayer (The Banknote Book).

Anyone interested in the testimonies of Israeli monetary history cannot ignore Israel Asher's highly recommended new catalogue.
