Comments

(en)

The first State Medal of Israel was issued in 1958, under the auspices of Israel's Tenth Anniversary—World Committee, and was suggested by the late Leo Kadman as early as 1948, but at the time was too premature. In Israel the medals could only be bought by the tourists and for foreign currency only.

Patterns exist in 42 and 45 mm, 4 and 5 mm thick, with a weight of 52 and 62 grams in copper and silver plate. All varieties are rare.
