OFFICIAL
ISRAEL MINT SETS BELOW ISSUE PRICE
We
offered a few of these official Israel Mint sets in our latest catalog-
and immediately sold out. It is easy to understand why.
They are attractive, historic and inexpensive. We
managed to get another batch. I have lots more dates
available, but only a limited quantity of most of them, so these will
probably sell out quickly as well. The
coins feature designs
from the nations ancient heritage. The scalloped edged 1
Agorot features three barley ears, a design taken from the ancient
pruta coin of Agrippa I in 43AD. The 5 Agorot features three
pomegranates, a motif taken from the frieze from the 3rd Century
Capernaum Synagogue. A seven-branched date palm on the 10
Agorot
appeared on the ancient Roman "Judea Capta" (70AD) and Bar
Kokhba
Revolt (132-135AD) coins The 25 Agorot features a
three-stringed
lyre, similar to that which appeared on coins of the Bar Kokhba
Revolt.. A seven-branched Menorah, the Emblem of Israel,
appears
on the 1/2 Lirah and 1
Lira issued from 1965 to 1967. The later 1 Lira coins depict
three pomegranates, a design taken from the Jewish coins of the First
Revolt against Rome. The coins come in their original
official
mint-sealed
holder. The sets from 1965 to 1969 come in a card. The 1970
set comes in either a card or a wallet. The 1971 to 1977 sets
come in a hard plastic case. The 1979 set comes in either a
wallet or a hard plastic case and includes a 5 Lirah coin, making it a
seven coin set. The 1980 is an unusual transition set issued in the
year Israel transitioned from the Lira to the Sheqel as their monetary
unit. The seven coin set contains the 1 Lira, 10 Agorot and 1
Agora, from the old monetary system, plus the new 1/2 Sheqel, 10 new
Agorot, 5 new Agorot and 1 new Agora.
Some coins in some of the earlier sets may be a
bit spotted, however our price is LESS than what most of the
sets originally sold for over 30 years ago!

Haiti is the world’s oldest Black Republic, having achieved
independence from France in 1804. Nearly all of the country’s 5 million
inhabitants are descendants from the original 480,000 African

Citadelle Laferriere), Jean Jacques Dessalines and Alexandre
Petion. The 1 Gourde shows the famous Citadelle Laferriere,
built
in the early 1800's at a tremendous cost and loss of life to protect
against an expected French invasion that never came. The 50, 20 and 5
Centimes portray Charlemagne Peralte, who led a guerilla movement
against the United States occupation of Haiti during World War
I.

cannons, guns, flags and a palm tree. The coins date from
1991 to

MYANMAR COIN SET
Myanmar, formerly known as Burma,
was
at the time of its independence
one
of the richest nations in Asia. Due to continued misrule it
is
now one of the poorest. Its inability to respond to its
recent
diasterous flooding and its refusal to accept outside aid showed the
paranoa and ineptness of the ruling military juanta. Due to
continued inflation, Myanmar introduced a new series of coins in
1999. The four coin set included the 5, 10, 50 and 100
Kyats.
The coins feature a stylized Burmese lion on one side and the
denomination on the other. The coins were struck at the Myanmar mint
located in Prome, one of the oldest cities in the country.
