    A very nice looking set!

    Krause says that the 1970 Pidyon Haben coin came in two versions: the plain edge with a business strike (KM 56.1) and a reeded edge in proof (KM 56.2). This set contains 5 coins - does it contain duplicates of one or both of these versions? Is it an official Israeli set? And, if I may ask one last question, what is the white and blue object below the set in your photo?

    Thanks.

    These sets for the "redemption of the first son" come with 5 identical coins. These were issued by the Israeli medals authorities. The white item in the box is a rolled up scroll and blue collar for the actual redemption ceremony.
