2459) “Dove of Peace", Israel: Israel Coins and Medals Corporation (ICMC) has issued a one Ounce Gold Bullion Coin featuring this symbol: Date/Year of Coin issue: 2022:

The "Dove of Peace" Bullion Coins were first introduced by "The Holy Land Mint" (Israel Coins and Medals Corporation - ICMC) in 2014. 

It was initially struck with a similar design in Gold and Silver bars in varying weights, together with Silver Rounds. 

Since 2019, rounds have also been struck in gold 999.9.

Doves as a Symbol of Peace:

Doves, usually white in colour, are used in many settings as symbols of peace, freedom, love or as messengers.

Doves are often associated with the concept of peace and pacifism.

 They often appear in political cartoons, on banners and signs at events promoting peace (such as the Olympic Games, at various anti-war/anti-violence protests, etc.), and in pacifist literature. 

A person who is a pacifist is sometimes referred to as a “dove”. Similarly a person who advocates the use of military resources as opposed to diplomacy can be referred to as a "hawk".

 Picasso’s lithograph - “La Colombe” ("The Dove”), which is a traditional, realistic picture of a pigeon, without an olive branch, was chosen as the emblem for the World Peace Council in Paris in April 1949.

The Gold Bullion Coin:

The Reverse of the "Dove of Peace" Gold Bullion Coin features a dove with an olive branch in its beak, in flight over the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem.

A majestic Dove of Peace graces the center of the design. Beneath the dove is an outline of the walls of the Old City and famous buildings within the walls.
