Israel - 1 Agora 1960 - PCGS SP 62 - A special and rare coin, Proof, which is one of the few that were not put into circulation. This type was unknown until the closure of the mint in England that minted these coins, and therefore is not listed in catalogs at all. As of today, about 10-15 units of this type are known. The name "agora" is given to three coins that have been used in the State of Israel since 1960. Each of them was a subdivision of the main currency used at the time. Between 1960 and 1980, the penny was the hundredth part of the Israeli pound. Between 1980 and 1985, the agora was the hundredth part of the (old) shekel, and since 1985 the agoray has been the hundredth part of the new shekel.
