13 Cardboard Tokens of 5 Prutah "Good for a Ride" with the companies 'Dan' and 'Eshed' and a ticket for travelling with 'Ha'Ma'avir' company – the first years of the State
During the years 1953-1955 there was a severe shortage of metal coins whose value was less than 10 Prutah; the small coins of 1 and 5 Prutah which were minted in 1949 were used up and disappeared or were not enough for the growing population. The transportation companies, who especially needed small change, issued these tokens during the fifties. The value of the tickets that were not used as tokens was donated to Magen David Adom.
Condition: Fair-Very Good.
To these are added a travel ticket of 'Ha'Ma'avir' Company, "Travel Ticket worth 1 Mil", in good condition.
