Comments
The issuance of the Independence Day Coin in 2004 coincided with the 15th Anniversary of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child and 25th Anniversary of the International Year of the Child. The central importance and rights of children are an essential part of Jewish heritage, in which children are viewed as a blessing and a joy. In Jewish culture and within Israeli society, children are not a means for achieving for a goal, rather they are the goal. Today’s children are tomorrow’s citizens – the future of Israel. The coin reverse depicts images of a father and son, with eyes on the same level, denoting a child as an independent personality, deserving attention, love and nurturing care.
