Uncirculated Hanukkah Coin Set Special Issue for The World Money Fair 2008
The currency names - Sheqel and Agora - are mentioned in the Bible. About 3,700 years ago Abraham bought the Caveof Machpelah in Hebron (where Adam and Eva said to be buried), for 400 Sheqel (Genesis 23:15). The Agora is mentioned in the book of Samuel 1, 2:36.
