This authentic Palestinian coin, mounted in a sterling silver cufflinks, is entirely handmade by our Palestinian artisan jeweler, Ahmad, from the Old City of Jerusalem.
As each piece is handmade, each jewel is unique and may vary slightly from the image. The date of manufacture may also differ from that visible on the photo. If you want an elegant, precious jewel that gains in value over time and bears the historical proof of the existence of Palestine before 1948, this is the jewel for you! The Palestine pound (جُنَيْه فِلَسْطِينِيّ) was the official currency of Palestine between 1927 and 1947. It replaced the Ottoman pound after 1917 and the Egyptian pound. Coins and notes were issued by the Palestine Currency Board with inscriptions in English, Arabic and Hebrew. Coins were minted until 1947, but did not circulate that year, while notes were issued until 1945.
