| Additional information |
Issued the year before the centenary of the First Zionist Congress, this coin honors Golda Meir, who served as Israel's fourth Prime Minister from 1969 to 1974 and remains the country's only woman to have held that office. Her tenure coincided with the Yom Kippur War of October 1973, a conflict that effectively ended her political career — she resigned the following year under the weight of the Agranat Commission's findings on military unpreparedness.
The X# prefix in the Krause catalog designates this as a non-circulating legal tender issue targeted at the collector market, a category Israel's state mint pursued aggressively through the 1990s.
