Ancient Coin - Festivals

The Ancient Coin - Festivals definitive set of 1949, depicting coins of the Second Temple period. Six values issued without tabs, continuing the coin-motif theme of the Doar Ivri era. The set replaced the original Doar Ivri values and was produced in larger quantities. A staple of any 1949 Israel collection.

Tabs on this issue carry Hebrew text identifying the specific festival or coin depicted. Complete tab sets are moderately scarce; the lower values are more available than the higher. Essential for collectors pursuing the tab-attached format throughout the early Israel series.
