Israel - 5 Lirot 1965 - NGC MS 65 - The Knesset
Israel’s 17th Anniversary of Independence Coin 5725-1965
The first session of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, was held in Jerusalem on February 14,1949, in temporary quarters. In the 1950s it was decided that the Knesset should have a permanent home in the capital city of Jerusalem, and one that was in keeping with its role and position in the life of the people and the nation. The competition for the design of the Knesset was won by Jerusalem architect Joseph Klerwein. In 1958 the cornerstone was laid on a western hill of Jerusalem. The Knesset, which was built as a result of a request of the late James A. de Rothschild, was inaugurated in 1965.
