One example from the series is smallest denomination known as the 10 Pruta or 10 Prutot
The singular form "pruta" instead of the plural "prutot" was erroneously minted on the five- and ten-pruta coins
The denomination ceased to be recognized as legal tender February 22,1980
DesignThe obverse design was based on the Bar-Kochba coin (132 - 135 C.E
In 1949, the reverse design features the denomination "10 Pruta" and the date in Hebrew inside two stylized olive branches around the rim (types 1 & 2 coins)
In 1957, the reverse would be modified again to change the denomination to “10 Prutot”
