1948Coinage Definitive Issue - Doar Ivri Single - Set

These stamps form the Coinage Definitive (Doar Ivri) high-value continuation: 500m, 1000m, and 5-pound values. Issued September 16, 1948, also depicting ancient Jewish coins on a plain background. Singles without tabs are the standard collectible form. These high values saw limited postal use; fine used examples are scarce.

Tab-attached examples of these denominations are among the key rarities of early Israel philately. The 5-pound with tab (Scott 9) is particularly sought after in never-hinged condition. Catalogue values reflect the extreme difficulty of finding undamaged tabs on these high values.
