1759) NOTABLE PERSONALITIES BANKNOTE SERIES - 1969, ISRAEL: 6th Series of Historical Banknotes: Four Silver replicas  issued by the Israel Coins and Medals Corportion (ICMC): Year of issue: 2021:

Israel Coins and Medals Corp. has presented this unique series, which is the sixth in a number of series representing the banknotes that were in use in the State of Israel over the years. 

Each of the banknotes in this exciting series has been produced by innovative technology, enabling production of a paper-thin, flexible pure silver note with a 5-gram weight.

The Notable Personalities Series replaced the Representative Figures Series in 1969, and the new series was the first to include a 100 Lira banknote.

For this series, central figures of the Jewish nation were chosen - Albert Einstein, Chaim Nachman Bialik, Chaim Weizmann and Theodor Herzl - in contrast to the previous series, in which anonymous figures representing the different sectors of Israeli society appeared on the banknotes.

 Each of the personalities featuring in the  new series had forged a strong impression in Jewish history

From this point on, all Banknotes issued by the State of Israel have been illustrated with portraits of former prime ministers, presidents or notable personalities who have left a significant mark on the Jewish nation.

The Notable Personalities Banknote Series:

In this Series the Back of each Banknote depicts a subject associated with the personality whose portrait appears on the Front:

Theodor Herzl on the Front of the 100 Lira Banknote with the State of Israel Emblem surrounded by the Emblems of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, on the Back.

Chaim Weizmann on the Front of the 50 Lira Banknote and the Knesset Building in Jerusalem, on the Back.

Chaim Nachman on the Front of the 10 Lira Banknote and his home in Tel Aviv, on the Back.

Albert Einstein on the Front of the 5 Lira Banknote, and the Atomic Research Reactor in Nahal Sorek, on the Back.

Details have been taken from "Banknotes and Coins of Israel 1927-2006", published by the Bank of Israel for this Limited Edition - 1,800 pieces; Silver .999 - 20g (5.0 grams each).
