Description: Israel Series V Sheqel Set 5 Banknotes 1978-1979Jewish and Israeli Personalities & Gates of JerusalemDescription: In June 1969 the Knesset (Israel's parliament) passed a law providing for the Sheqel to become the currency of Israel at a date to be determined on the recommendation of the Governor of the Bank of Israel. In November 1977 conditions were considered ripe for implementing this law, and in May 1978 Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Finance Minister Simcha Ehrlich approved the Governor's proposal to introduce a series of Sheqel banknotes identical to the Lira notes except for the denominations, which were to be determined by dropping one zero from the denominations of the Lira series. The notes were prepared in the same color and size and with the same portraits as the Series IV of the Lira, in order to make it easier for the public to become familiar with the new denominations. The preparations were conducted in complete secrecy over a period of more than two years. On 22nd February 1980 the Sheqel was declared legal tender, and the first notes went into circulation on 24th February 1980.The following 5 Israel banknotes are included in this Series IV complete Lira set:1.
