| Additional information |
Israel's Endangered Animals series has run intermittently since 1996, with each issue tied to a specific species facing documented population pressure within the country's borders. The 2021 installment continued the Bank of Israel's practice of coordinating releases with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, which classifies and monitors the relevant species.
KM#576 is among the later entries in a series that collectors have tracked closely for gaps and substitutions — several planned issues were delayed or rescheduled, making the sequential numbering deceptive as a completeness guide.
