20 New Shekels Jerusalem Theatre

Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the Jerusalem Theatre — founded in 1973 as Israel's first purpose-built performing arts complex — this coin is part of the Bank of Israel's ongoing cultural commemorative program, which has produced gold issues tied to Israeli institutions, landmarks, and historical figures since the 1990s. The Theatre itself was built on land in the Talbiyeh neighborhood, a quarter whose pre-1948 Arab architecture still surrounds the complex.
