Israel Doar Ivri First Coins Issue
Israel · 1948 · 10 Pruta
This stamp is part of the first series issued by the newly independent state of Israel, known as 'Doar Ivri' (Hebrew Post). The design features an ancient Judean coin from the period of the First Jewish-Roman War (66-70 CE), depicting a lulav (palm branch) and two etrogs (citrons). The tabs below the stamp, a distinctive feature of early Israeli issues, are inscribed with 'Doar Ivri' in Hebrew.
Issued just days after Israel's Declaration of Independence in May 1948, this series represents a pivotal moment in the nation's history, symbolizing sovereignty and a connection to its ancient past.
