## Historical Description:

The 10 Prutah coins of 1952 were part of Israel's first official coinage, introduced shortly after the nation's establishment in 1948. Replacing the British Mandate currency, these coins represented a significant step towards Israel's economic independence.

The palm and jug design, chosen through a public competition, held deep meaning for the young nation. The palm tree symbolized the land's agricultural potential, while the jug represented the importance of water in the arid region. These motifs resonated with Israelis and helped shape the country's visual identity.

The 10 Prutah coin was a small denomination, intended for everyday transactions. However, its historical significance transcends its monetary value. It serves as a tangible reminder of Israel's early struggles and aspirations, making it a treasured collector's item.
