| Additional information |
Introduced as part of Israel's long-running Hanukkah coin program, this issue belongs to a series that began in the 1950s with the deliberate intent of anchoring newly designed circulating coinage to Jewish cultural observance — a policy driven as much by the young state's need to build civic identity as by any numismatic tradition. The Hanukkah series became one of the most sustained thematic programs in Israeli coinage history, running across multiple denominations and design cycles for decades.
KM#173 circulated through a span that included two major Israeli monetary reforms and outlasted several other denominations entirely.
