The project was overseen by the archaeologist Yigael Yadin with the idea being to place archaeological sites on the reverses and images of the new State of Israel on the obverse. Arkin writes 'Old versus new' as the theme behind the proposed new issue of currency. The designers were Gaabriel Shamir, Maxim Shamir and Jacob Zim. The photographer Rudi Wissenstein was commissioned to take photographs of 'modern Israelis' to best epitomise the new State of Israel. These photographs would then form the template for the new designs. The proofs offered here bear the manuscript signature of one of the designers, Maxim Shamir and were purchased many decades ago from the family of Maxim Shamir. |
