| Additional information |
Israel's 1949 coinage was produced at the Utrecht Mint in the Netherlands, as the young state lacked its own minting infrastructure in the immediate aftermath of the 1948 War of Independence. The 25 pruta denomination in specimen format from this year is particularly scarce — the pruta series itself was short-lived, replaced by the agorot system in 1960 following monetary reform.
