25 Lira Kibbutz Ein Hashofet

Ein Hashofet was one of roughly 200 kibbutzim that issued their own internal scrip during the British Mandate period and into the early years of the Israeli state, before the Bank of Israel centralized currency control. These notes functioned as internal vouchers — redeemable at the kibbutz store or canteen, not legal tender in any broader sense. The kibbutz itself was founded in 1937 by members of the Hashomer Hatzair movement, mostly immigrants from North America, which gave it an unusual demographic profile among Jezreel Valley settlements.

The 25 Lira denomination suggests late Mandate or early statehood issue, when the Palestine Pound was transitioning toward the Israeli Lira.
