"MILLENNIUM" COMMEMORATIVE COIN OF THE HOLY LAND 1999/5759
Israel among the Nations Series

One of the most exalted ideas bestowed upon mankind by the Prophets of Israel is expressed by the simple lines of this coin: love of peace and disarmament among nations. The Prophet Isaiah prophesized: ". . . For out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He shall judge between the nations and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." (Isaiah 2:1-4). The prophetic vision serves as the source of law and justice, democracy, tolerance and equality.

Obverse: Israel State Emblem to the left on the matte background, below, an olive branch, face value in Hebrew and English to the right on the shiny side, "Israel" in English, Hebrew and Arabic and the mint year

Reverse: The number "2000" comprised of the digit "2" in the shape of a dove on a matte background above an olive branch, with the three zeros on the shiny side to the right. The word YEAR is inscribed above the zeros. The biblical verse from the Book of Isaiah 2:4, "AND THEY SHALL BEAT THEIR SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES" is inscribed below in English and above in Hebrew.
