| Additional information |
Israel's agora denominations were introduced in 1960 as part of the decimalization reform that replaced the old pound/pruta system with the pound divided into 100 agorot. The 1 agora was among the first coins issued under this restructured currency, which itself had a short working life — rampant inflation through the 1970s steadily eroded the denomination's purchasing power until it became effectively worthless in circulation well before the series ended.
The KM#24.1 designation distinguishes this from later varieties struck without the Star of David privy mark used by the Bern mint during certain production runs.
