Israel. Bond coupon. Steel. 4.75 x 3 inches. Imprint of Security-Columbian Banknote Company.
A simple bond coupon, with the title, "State of Israel" at the top, and the arms of Israel at left. Perhaps related in end use to the engraving of the arms offered above, as these two are by the same engraving firm and could easily have been part of the same final bond design.
