| Additional information |
Issued as part of Israel's long-running Biblical Art series, this piece commemorates one of the Hebrew Bible's most dramatically compressed narratives. The Bank of Israel has produced silver commemoratives in this series since the 1990s, each tied to a specific scriptural episode rather than a historical figure or political moment — an unusual choice for a central bank issuer that reflects the series' explicitly cultural mandate.
KM#476 is a low-mintage collector piece with no circulation history.
