Invoice dated 2012 shows a price of $1898 for each of these three coin sets. Two silver pieces and one gold piece. 22 carat (16.96 grams). Two sets of three coins each in original packaging.



The coin was designed by Aharon Shevo, with a portrait of Rabin engraved by Tidhar Dagan.



The obverse bears the face value, the Israel state emblem, the word “Israel” in English, Hebrew and Arabic, the year of issue (as 2011 and as Hebrew Year 5772 in Hebrew characters), and an olive branch symbolizing peace. Below the face value is the Mint mark, appearing as a Hebrew letter “mem” on the Proof coins and as a Star of David on the silver prooflike coin. Around the right-hand border is “Yitzhak Rabin — Nobel Peace Prize 1994” in Arabic.



The reverse carries the Rabin portrait, based on a photograph taken in the years preceding the Nobel Peace Prize award. Around the border is the inscription “Yitzhak Rabin — Nobel Peace Prize 1994” in English and Hebrew.



Three different coins share the designs, except for the denominational markings: a Proof .917 fine gold 10-new-Israeli-sheqel coin, a Proof .925 fine silver 2-NIS coin and a Prooflike .925 fine silver 1-NIS coin.



The gold coin weighs 16.96 grams, measures 30 millimeters in diameter and had a mintage limit of 888 pieces. The silver 2-sheqel coin weighs 28.8 grams, measures 38.7 millimeters in diameter and had a mintage limit of 2,800 pieces. The silver 1-sheqel coin weighs 14.4 grams, measures 30 millimeters in diameter and had a mintage limit of 1,800 pieces.
