Issued during Israel's dot-com boom, this coin marks a period when the country's technology sector — anchored around the Tel Aviv-Yafo corridor sometimes called "Silicon Wadi" — was drawing serious international venture capital and producing a disproportionate number of NASDAQ-listed companies relative to its population. The late 1990s saw Israeli tech exports surge dramatically, driven largely by military-origin R&D feeding into civilian applications.
Bank of Israel commemorative silver issues from this period were struck in limited proof runs, rarely seeing circulation.
