In my pursuit of choice pieces in this neglected area of collecting, picked up a few more.
My collection is detailed here - https://taleruniverse.com/world-crowns/israel/commemorative-coins/

These all are beautiful, and cool eye appeal to boot!
Nice. One of your earlier posts prompted me to pick up a few of these commemoratives myself.
What's the best way to distinguish between proofs and MS coins on these issues? I have a few coins I think are proofs, but they don't have mirror surfaces.

"Numismatic categorizations, if left unconstrained, will increase spontaneously over time." -me
Proofs are designated by a small letter "mem" which stands for mekushat, a Hebrew word meaning special (literally "adorned"). The only exception is the 1958 5 lirot coin featuring a menorah. There is no mem, and the proof issue will exhibit mirror-like quality and frosted devices.
The 10 and 25 are incredible!!!
Nice additions... I have added some raw examples to my small collection as well...
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
These are all outstanding. My favorite of the bunch is the 1968 10 Lirot.
Thanks guys. Will continue to nibble at these over time.
