250 Pruta

Aversbeschreibung	Three upright wheat stalks rendered in high relief occupy the central field, their ears fanning outward symmetrically. The Hebrew legend YISRAEL (ישראל) arcs above the design along the upper rim, while the Arabic equivalent ISRA'IL (اسرائيل) is inscribed below, flanking the base of the stalks. The design is contained within a plain border with a milled outer edge, presenting a clean, modernist aesthetic characteristic of early Israeli coinage.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Israel's first coinage series was struck in 1949 under emergency conditions — the new state had declared independence barely a year earlier and urgently needed a functioning currency to replace the Palestine Pound. The 250 Pruta in silver was the highest-denomination coin in that inaugural set, and KM#15a specifically denotes the .500 fine silver variant, distinguished from the aluminum-bronze KM#15 by composition alone. Struck at the Utrecht Mint in the Netherlands, as Israel had no domestic minting facility at the time.
