The Story:
The obverse illustrates the Western Wall, which is located in the Old City of Jerusalem at the foot of the western side of the Temple Mount. It is a remnant of the ancient wall that surrounded the Jewish Temple’s courtyard and the last remaining part of the Second Holy Temple in Jerusalem that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 C.E. This icon is one of the most sacred sites in Judaism and a site of Jewish prayer and pilgrimage for centuries, as people pray at the wall 24 hours a day. It is said that the Divine Presence never leaves this holy place.
The reverse depicts the famous Roaring Lion, which appeared on a 2,800-year-old ancient seal discovered in archeological excavations at Tel Megiddo in the Jordan Valley in 1904. Soon after its discovery, this seal mysteriously disappeared in Constantinople. The lion is the symbol of the tribe of Judah and of Jerusalem.

Perhaps the design isn't as striking as that of the 1st Israeli bullion ("Tower of David") coin, but this coin is still highly attractive. Its limited mintage of 3,600 ensures its longer-term value. Israel has only limited minting facilities itself, and tends to outsource the physical minting of its more complex coins to other mints - in this case, to the Royal Dutch Mint. I unreservedly recommend this coin as instrinsically attractive and a sound investment.
- Bottom Line
- Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
