Comments

Moneta 5 milsów została wyemitowana w miedzi w przeciwieństwie do miedzioniklu w latach 1942 i 1944 podczas II wojny światowej, aby nikiel mógł zostać przeznaczony na wysiłek wojenny. Zarówno monety 10 milsów, jak i 20 milsów były również emitowane jako monety z brązu w latach 1942-1944.

Po hebrajskim napisie Palestyny "פלשתינה" na awersie monety znajduje się mały akronim w nawiasie "פלשתינה".(א "י)", który jest skrótem od "ארץ ישראל" (Ziemia Izraela), nazwa używana od czasów biblijnych do chwili obecnej przez naród żydowski w odniesieniu do obszaru geograficznego, który składał się na ziemie starożytnej Judei, Brytyjskiego Mandatu Palestyny, a później państwa Izrael. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The 5 mils coin was issued in copper as opposed to copper-nickel in 1942 and 1944 during the Second World War so that the nickel could go towards the war effort. Both the 10 mils and 20 mils coins were also issued as bronze coins between the years of 1942 to 1944.

For the Hebrew lettering of Palestine "פלשתינה" on the obverse side of the coin, there is a small acronym after it in brackets "(א"י)", which is shortened for "ארץ ישראל" (Land of Israel), the name used since biblical times to the present by the Jewish People for the geographical area that made up the lands of ancient Judea, the British Mandate of Palestine and later the State of Israel.
