| Additional information |
Israel's 1992 Paralympic commemorative series marked the country's strong competitive presence at the Barcelona Games, where Israeli athletes brought home medals across several disciplines. The issue was produced under the Bank of Israel's long-running commemorative program, which had been generating collector-targeted gold and silver releases since the 1960s — a program designed as much for foreign exchange earnings as for domestic commemoration.
.900 fine at this weight places the actual gold content just under a quarter-ounce, a specification shared across several Israeli commemoratives of the period.
