Israel Bank Leumi Le-Israel B.M. 500 Pruta ND (ca. 1953-54) Pick Unlisted Printer's Design PMG Choice Uncirculated 63. The inaugural series of banknotes for what became to be the 1955 Bank of Israel feature designs deemed beautiful today. But the story begins at least one year prior, as this Printer Design was prepared for the Bank Leumi and not the Bank of Israel. The Bank Leumi never issued banknotes with this design, as their charter to issue notes was cancelled when the Bank of Israel was formed in late 1954. Printer notations and lightened stains are mentioned for accuracy. An extremely rare (current research indicates it is, in fact, unique) Specimen that was never issued by the bank for which this design was created. This example serves as the plate note on page 71 of Raphael Dvir's 2022 book.
