Selah of the Hebrew Yishuv in Eretz Israel - Sketch for a Banknote - Meir Gur Arieh
Selah of the Hebrew Yishuv in Eretz Israel - A receipt indicating a contribution to the Jewish National Committee in Eretz Israel, designed by Meir Gur Arieh, printed 'Graphics' Jerusalem. Sketch attempt to a bill issued in Eretz Israel.
On the note before us, an attempt was made to change certain details in the design of the note in favor of a similar note that was later issued in the Land of Israel. At the top, instead of the line with the caption: "National Committee for the Jews of the Land of Israel" is written "Knesset of Israel in the Land of Israel National Committee", and the amount on it is different. Instead of 5 pennies, there are 50 miles of Eretz Israel. It is possible that the captions were made by Meir Gur Arieh himself. The changes were indeed accepted and in Eretz Israel the note came out with the caption that appears on the note before us. (Attached is a picture of the note in its final design).
21x10 cm. Tear from the top right in the part intended for tearing. Good condition.
