Coin Collecting at the Safir House

Since its inception the State of Israel has been very proud and productive in its coins and currency. This
section will be one of my growing coin collecting area, of both Israeli circulating coins and commemortative.
I also have some the state sells through its
banking system, both authentic coins and replicas.

One Shekel Akko and Coin Detail of the Door. In truth, I lost track of which Obverse is the 2 Sheckel Proof and which is the Proof-Like One Sheckel uncirculate. One coin has a more complete brickwork over the door. The other has some bald spots in the strike. That being said, the AKKO design from Israel is one of my all time favorite coin designs and I find the depth of the landscape to be simply breathtaking The City of AKKO is now an UNESCO sight and this coin celebrates that fact. However, Israel has put out a number of urban coins such as this and the result is always special. |
