| Additional information |
The Sabbatical Year coin series, issued by the Bank of Israel beginning in the early 1990s, commemorates the Shemitah — the seventh year in the Jewish agricultural cycle during which the land must lie fallow, debts are released, and certain economic activities are suspended under Torah law. The 1993 issue fell during an actual Shemitah year (5754 in the Hebrew calendar begins late 1993), giving the release a calendar significance beyond the merely ceremonial.
KM#238 is part of a deliberately sequenced collector series rather than a circulation issue.
