Does anyone know the date and denomination of this Israeli coin?

Question

I have an Israeli coin that looks nearly I dentical to this http://princedan25.tripod.com/images/1lirah1.jpg except the charactors on the very bottom are (from right to left) Tau, Shin, Caph, Yod, Yod, and Cheth. This is what the back looks like http://princedan25.tripod.com/images/1lirah2.jpg

Sorry about that, this is the link http://princedan25.tripod.com/israel_coins.html The coin is the third one down.

Answer 1

The characters you are talking about are the date of the coin.
Israel uses a wierd dating system. I don't have my catalog at home - I will try to get back to you later if I can find the date on yours.

OK, I'm back. Here is a URL for a look up table for dates on Israel coins:
