The Palestine Currency Board was established in 1927 under British Mandate authority, issuing coins denominated in Mils — a system borrowed from the Egyptian monetary framework that Britain had already administered. The Board operated from London, not Jerusalem, and all coinage was struck at the Royal Mint. Currency policy was deliberately kept separate from the Palestinian banking system to prevent local political bodies from exercising any monetary control.
Production continued through 1947, the final year before the Mandate's collapse. Coins dated in the 1940s saw sharply reduced mintages as the security situation deteriorated and British withdrawal became inevitable.
