Israel Doar Ivri First Issue, 10 Pruta
Israel · 1948 · 10 Pruta
This stamp is part of the first series issued by the new state of Israel, known as 'Doar Ivri' (Hebrew Post). The design features an ancient Judean coin from the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73 CE), depicting a lulav (palm branch) flanked by two etrogs (citrons). The tabs below the stamp are inscribed with 'Doar Ivri' in Hebrew.
Issued just days after Israel's Declaration of Independence in May 1948, the Doar Ivri series represents a pivotal moment in the nation's history and the establishment of its postal sovereignty.
