Doar Ivri (Hebrew Post) First Coinage Series

Israel · 1948 · 3m - 1000m

This set, known as Doar Ivri (Hebrew Post), represents the first postage stamps issued by the newly independent State of Israel in May 1948. The designs feature ancient Hebrew coins from the First Jewish-Roman War and the Bar Kokhba revolt, symbolizing the restoration of Jewish sovereignty. The stamps were printed in secret before the state's declaration and do not bear the name 'Israel', instead using the inscription 'Doar Ivri'.

Issued just two days after Israel's Declaration of Independence, these stamps are a powerful symbol of the nation's birth and its connection to ancient Jewish history.
