[[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 hundred mils. This type was struck 1942 and 1944 as a substitute for the regular [[Palestine 1941 5 mils|copper-nickel issue]]. This specimen was lot 4474 in Goldberg sale 70 (Los Angeles, September 2012), where it sold for $201.25. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Palestine. 5 Mils, 1942. KM-3a. Bronze.
