1921) The "Gates Banknote Series (1975)", Israel: 7th Issue by Israel Coins and Medals Corporation (ICMC) which has brought out this Silver Banknote Series, representing Banknotes that were in use in Israel over the years: Year of issue: 2021:
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 Gate Series replaced the Notable Personalities Series in 1975.
This was the first series to incorporate a special mark enabling the blind to identify the denomination of the banknote by touch. On the back of the notes, a binary code was imprinted in invisible ink, for the purpose of automatic recognition.
Representing the unification of Jerusalem after the Six-Day War, on the back of the banknotes are some of the gates in the wall around the Old City of Jerusalem: the Lions’ Gate, Jaffa Gate, Damascus Gate, Zion Gate and the Golden Gate.
The previous banknotes were large, which made them inconvenient to use and subject to great wear and tear. The new series featured smaller notes in which all the denominations were uniform width. This also made them suitable for use in automatic cash machines.
Continuing devaluation also made it necessary to issue banknotes of higher denominations.
This was the first series to have a banknote with a face value of 500 Lirot. It too continued the tradition of portraits of notable personalities in Jewish history appearing on the front of the banknotes.
The Back of the Banknotes depict the 5 Gates included in this Series.
The Front of the 5 Banknotes.
The Cover of the Banknote album is titled - "BANKNOTES. BANK OF ISRAEL".
