| Additional information |
Israel's monetary system was in crisis during these years. Inflation reached 445% in 1984 and was accelerating toward the hyperinflationary peak of 1985, when the government launched the Economic Stabilization Plan that effectively ended the sheqel and introduced the new sheqel at a rate of 1,000 to 1. This coin was rendered obsolete not by wear but by monetary collapse, which is why survivors are typically found in respectable condition — purchasing power evaporated before the metal could.
