| Additional information |
This series coincides almost exactly with Israel's 1985 Economic Stabilization Plan, one of the more successful cold-turkey inflation interventions of the 20th century — the shekel had lost so much value that a full currency reform was enacted, replacing 1,000 old shekels with 1 new shekel. The agora was reintroduced as its subdivision in the same stroke.
By the early 1990s, even the 1 agora had become practically worthless in daily transactions, and the denomination was abolished in 1991 — the last year of this issue.
