This specimen was lot 4419 in Goldberg sale 70 (Los Angeles, September 2012), where it sold for $368. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Palestine]]. 10 Mils, 1937. Pop. 6; 3 finer, 2 in MS 65 and 1 in MS 66 at PCGS. PCGS graded MS-64. Jerusalem Collection." Palestine was long a province of the Ottoman Empire when Britain occupied it as a League of Nations mandate in 1920, disappointing both Jews and Arabs. British officials had made vague promises to both groups during World War One then decided to keep the region for Britain to protect their interests in the Suez Canal. Hopelessly embroiled in the Arab-Jewish conflict, Britain bailed out in 1948, enabling Israel to obtain its independence. The Palestinian currency was the pound, divided into one thousand mils but the largest coin issued was the [[Palestine 1935 100 mils|hundred mils]]. This type was struck 1927-47; the 1937 is a common date in circulated condition.<br />
