Israel 1971 100 lirot
This specimen was lot 1792 in Goldberg sale 106 (Los Angeles, September 2018), where it sold for $750. The catalog description[1] noted, "Israel. 100 Lirot, 1971. Let My People Go. Choice Brilliant Proof." This is the fifth issue of this denomination tho it is safe to say that no gold coin of Israel actually circulated. It is accompanied by a silver ten lirot (KM 59.1/59.2). Massive influx of aid from the United States fueled inflation and coinage reforms in 1960, 1980 and 1985.
