Original Note:
The א''י on the coin is the abbreviation for Eretz Yisrael, Land of Israel. The coin refers both to the British mandate of Palestine, 1920-1948 and ארץ ישראל, Israel. Both were the names of the land not a country until 1948 independence declaration. https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/article/british-mandate-for-palestine/ https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/The_Holy_Land_in_History_and_Thought.html?id=Ec4UAAAAIAAJ&redir_esc=y https://embassies.gov.il/UnGeneva/AboutIsrael/history/Pages/History-Israel-Timeline.aspx
