This offering is for a 1970 Jerusalem Specimen Set, Uncirculated. In the monetary system of Israel at this time, 1 Lira equalled 100 agorot (agorot is plural for agora).

Pictures 1 and 2 show the back and the front of the coin set.

Picture 3 starts at 6:00 on the front of the set, with the 1 Lira coin, and picture 4 is the reverse. This coin is listed as being aluminum on catawiki.com, a website where coin collectors can input their coin inventory and manage it, as well as get specifics about world coins. The reverse has an inset menorah and a 3-pronged symbol that I cannot identify. (I apologize for the dust in these and the rest of the pictures that follow). The set has been sitting around for 43 years!

Going counterclockwise from the 1 Lira, Picture 5 shows the 25 Agorot coin and the picture 6 shows its reverse, which depicts a harp. This coin is listed as being aluminum-bronze.

At 12:00 is the 5 Agorot in Picture 9 and its reverse in picture 10, which shows a depiction of fruit. This coin is aluminum-bronze.

Still going counterclockwise using Picture 1 is the 1/2 Lira in Picture 11 and its reverse in picture 12, which shows a depiction of a menorah. This coin is listed as being cupronickel, aka a copper-nickel alloy that may contain "strengthening" metals such as iron or manganese for durability.
