An Upland Goose in flight is on the 2 pence. The 5 pence features an albatross.  A mother seal and her pup is on the 10 pence.  Sheep grazing is the islands main industry, so it is fitting that a sheep is on the 20 pence.  Queen Elizabeth is on the obverse of each of the coins.

HASMONEAN HERO SQUASHED BY AN ELEPHANT!

Israel 1 Pound 1961 Maccabean Hero squashed by an ElephantObverse of Israel 1 Pound 1961Hero coinThis 1961 1 Pound coin from Israel pictures a man underneath an elephant stabbing the belly of the beast. The coin, known as the “Death of a Hasmonean Hero” or the “Maccabean Hero” tells the story of Eleazer killing a war elephant as is written in 1 Macabees 6:42-47. In 163BC Seleucid King Antiochus V sent an army to Judea put down the revolt lead by Judas Maccabeus who was seeking freedom for the Jewish state. Included in the forces were 32 of the most terrifying weapons of the era - elephants. Each elephant lead a force of a thousand men. Eleazer, the younger brother of Judas Maccabeaus, spied the largest and most heavily armored of the elephants. Assuming that it carried the king, he single handedly fought his way through the phalanx of soldiers surrounding the elephant, ran under the beast and stabbed it in the belly. The dying elephant fell on top of Eleazer, killing him. Alas, the elephant did not carry the king, and the Jewish forces soon retreated in the face of strength of the Seleucid army. The 32mm copper-nickel coin was struck as part of Israel’s annual series of Hanukkah coins. The coin features the Hebrew letter “mem” between the elephant’s legs, which indicates the coin is Proof. The obverse of the coin features a torch and the legend in Hebrew “And he gave up his soul in battle”. The coin has a mintage of just 9324 pieces in Proof. The historic coin catalogs $25, however our price is much less.
