Silver Numismatic Bullion OLD ACRE Third in the “Ancient Cities of the Holy Land” Series

The city of Acre lies in the northern coastal plain of Israel and is one of the oldest port cities of the world. Acre’s Old City is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea and surrounded by a wall. Since 1990, wide-scale archeological works and preservation works have been undertaken.

In 2001, the Old City of Acre was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and, in 2008, the Bahai Gardens in Acre were also proclaimed a World Heritage Site. Acre is therefore the only city in Israel with two separate UNESCO World Heritage Sites. For the Bahai faith, Acre is considered the holiest place.

Acre’s Old City has an outstanding history. It has had ups and downs and passed from one ruler to another, because of its strategic situation on the coast. The city reached its peak when it served as capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in the 13th century and when it was the Ottoman governor of Acre, Ahmad Pasha al-Jazzar’s capital, at the end of the 18th century.

Old Acre is unique for being built on two different levels – the Crusader City and the Ottoman City. Remains of the original medieval period Crusader buildings have been preserved and these are found beneath the fortified Moslem city that was built over them, in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The walled City of Old Acre is a vibrant, authentic urban area of historical, touristic and cultural value, with impressive churches, mosques, synagogues and other historical buildings. It is well worth a visit.

The name Acre is mentioned once in the Bible: “Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acre, not the inhabitants of Zidon” (Judges 1:31)

Israel Coins and Medals

Relive the Past, Preserve the Present, Ensure the Future

Israel Coins and Medals Corp. (ICMC) was established in 1958 by Israel's first Prime Minister David Ben Gurion. Its purpose was then, and still is, to commemorate the national and historic events of the State of Israel and its outstanding personalities, and the milestones in our culture, art and people. ICMC was designated an ambassador for the distribution of the legal tender commemorative coins issued by the Bank of Israel and the Israel State Medals, as well as for the promotion of Israeli artistry and Judaica.

ICMC was fully owned by the Israel Government until 2008, when it was privatized and bought by the G.R.A.S. Group. In the privatization agreement, ICMC pledged to the Government that it would maintain the company's traditional character and scope of activity. Today, ICMC operates in a wide range of activities, with special emphasis on production and global promotion of gold and silver for investment under The Holy Land Mint trademark.

From a legendary Government Corporation - to the leading Israeli Gold and Silver Company

What began as a legendary Government Corporation has become the leading global Israeli company in world numismatics and precious metal investments. Renowned for over 60 years of integrity and trustworthiness, ICMC employs a staff of about 200 and serves tens of thousands of customers globally with professionalism and dedication. Ever since its inception, ICMC has maintained its unique character and values, as Prime Minister David Ben Gurion had envisioned. ICMC products commemorate Israel's unique history and serve as ambassadors to the world, as they diffuse the story of Israel and the Jewish people.
