KM-181, Israel 1987 new sheqel in proof; commemorative 12-sided coin part of the Holyland sites series depicting Biblical Jeriho; even though some of the commemorative coins at that time were already released in protective capsules, many still were distributed in plastic hard cases with the hold held in place by a cardboard; hence heavily toned on obverse and reverse is nice. Mintage only 8,196 coins as typical of these limited series commemorative coins.
