| Israel Pidyon HaBen Commemorative Coins
Silver coins from the Bank of Israel issued from 1970 to 1977 Redemption of the First Born Son
Exodus 13:1-3 tells us that a son who is the firstborn of his mother belongs to God; or more specifically, to the Kohen (priest) who serves in the worship of God. It is stated, we "redeem" the child, or buy him back. The redemption price is stated in the Torah as five Sheqalim of silver. The ceremony generally takes place when the baby is 31 days old. These coins were specially issued by the Bank of Israel for the Ceremony of the Redemption of the First-Born Son. A set of 5 coins guaranteed to contain 117 grams of Pure Silver in accordance with the biblical ordinance of the Redemption of the Son.
