Israel 1990 Definitive Series - Ancient Coins

Israel · 1990 · 0.10 NIS

This definitive stamp is part of a series featuring ancient coins discovered in Israel. The design showcases a coin from the Bar Kokhba revolt (132-135 CE), depicting a palm tree, a significant symbol in Jewish culture. The coin's imagery connects the modern state with its ancient history and struggle for sovereignty.

Issued in 1990, this series replaced the long-running "Town Emblems" definitives, introducing a new theme that emphasized Israel's deep archaeological and historical roots.
