This piece is part of Israel's long-running Biblical Art series, which the Bank of Israel has issued since the 1990s to mark Jewish holidays — in this case, the Jubilee year 2000. The Josef narrative, drawn from Genesis, held particular resonance for a state built substantially by diaspora return; the story of exile, preservation of identity, and eventual reunion with family carried obvious contemporary weight without needing to be stated explicitly by the issuing authority.
