Israel's 32nd Anniversary of Independence Coin
"At the height of the bloody onslaught waged against us for many months", states the Declaration of Independence, May 1948, "we extend the hand of peace and good neighborliness to all the States and people in our area and call upon them to join in co-operative and mutually beneficial relations with the independent Hebrew people in its Land."
After struggling for 30 years and through five wars, the long striving for peace began to take form, when Israel and Egypt agreed to end the state of war between them.
