Israel – 10 Lirot 1972 – NGC MS 67 – Redemption of the First-Born Son Pidyon Haben Coin 5732-1972
Legal Tender Issued by The Bank of Israel
The third in the series of Pidyon Haben coins was issued in 5732-1972 and was discontinued prior to the 1973 issue. The design on the obverse differs somewhat from that of the 1970 and 1971 issues.
Pidyon Haben is the redemption of a firstborn son from his special dedication to the service of G-d. The Pidyon Haben ceremony takes place on the 31st day after birth, when the firstborn son is redeemed by a Cohen (priest) for 5 Shekels of silver, originally a total weight of 96.15 grams of silver. Today, it is customary to give the Cohen 100 grams of silver or pay him the current value of 100 grams of silver.
Obverse:
The face value "10 Israeli Lirot" in Hebrew. Below, the Israel State Emblem, around the lower border, left, the word "Israel" in Hebrew, English and Arabic, right the mint year "5739-1972" in Hebrew and English.
Reverse:
A schematic representation of the two Tablets of the Law and underneath in large letters: "All the first born of your sons you shall redeem" (Exodus 34:20). Around the lower border, in Hebrew, "Pidyon Haben Coin".
