Israel Bank of Israel 5 Lirot 1958 / 5718 Pick 31pp1; 32pp2 Front and Back Progressive Proof PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ (2). Both sides of the second series 5 Lirot are presented here, with both in a Progressive Proof format. The design elements are exacting and the visual appeal is quite good. Rare in any format and a seldom seen prototype. Part of a wonderful group offered in today's sale. Current research suggests that only 2-3 examples each of the front and back Progressive Proofs with added hidden secret mark location annotations exist. These pieces served as the plate illustrations on pages 138 and 140 in the 2022 Dvir book.
