Israel 50 Lira Lirot Pounds Banknote 1960 Red Serial VF+
Pioneer youths are the subject of the obverse of the 50 Lirot (Bank of Israel series II) banknote. The two young people chosen were friends of an employee of Shamir Bros., designers of the banknote, and their likenesses grace the obverse, against the background of an agricultural settlement in the Negev.
The reverse shows a mosaic from the 6th century AD, part of a synagogue floor at Maon near Kibbutz Nirim in the Besor region, north of the Negev. The mosaic was discovered in 1957, during road construction works, and includes a Menorah (seven-branched candelabrum).
The banknote shown on the images is the banknote you get.
