Israel Coins

Last Updated: Jul 27, 2023

The official currency of Israel is termed as Israeli new shekel or simply Israeli shekel that is subdivided into hundred smaller units known as agorot. This currency is also a legal tender in Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza strip. Israeli shekel has been in circulation in the country since 1986.

The Israel coins are minted in the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation. Before the new shekel, the currencies circulating in Israel include the Israeli pound and shekel. Coins in various denominations were produced and spread, representing the country's personality and fulfilling its needs.

Israel coins are collected by people worldwide due to their designs and value. Some rare and valuable Israeli coins include the 1961 Israel bar Mitzvah gold medal, 5 shekel Israel Sheqlaim, and many more.
