10 New Sheqalim Miriam and the Women

Part of the Bank of Israel's ongoing Biblical Art series, this issue was struck at the Kremnica Mint in Slovakia — an unusual choice that reflected post-Cold War shifts in Israeli minting contracts during the 1990s. The series drew on a rotating roster of international artists, and the designs were subject to rabbinical consultation over iconographic boundaries, a constraint that shaped compositional choices across multiple issues in ways that are rarely documented publicly.

Mintage for individual pieces in this series was tightly controlled, typically under 3,000 pieces worldwide.
