Israel's 25 agorot was introduced as part of the country's first domestically-conceived coinage reform following years of reliance on transitional currency inherited from the British Mandate period. The aluminium-bronze alloy was a deliberate choice for durability in a country where coins circulated hard and were rarely hoarded. Production ran across two decades before rampant inflation through the late 1970s rendered the denomination effectively worthless in purchasing power, collapsing its practical use well before formal demonetization.
