Issued to mark Israel's 43rd Independence Day, this coin commemorates one of the most dramatic demographic events in modern Israeli history: the mass immigration of Soviet Jews following the collapse of communist restrictions on emigration. Between 1990 and 1991 alone, nearly 200,000 Soviet Jews arrived in Israel — a wave that would ultimately bring over a million immigrants from the former USSR across the following decade, fundamentally reshaping the country's population.
KM#230 was struck in a limited proof issue. The .900 gold specification follows the Bank of Israel's established standard for its Independence Day commemorative program, which has run annually since 1958.
