1 oz Silver Coin Lions Gate with Box

Release Date: April 2018

Second in the "Gates of Jerusalem" Series Along with the popular "Views of Jerusalem" Series, a new series of gold and silver featuring the "Gates of Jerusalem", is issued.

The Walls around the Old City of Jerusalem were built in the 16th century by the Sultan of Turkey, known as Suleiman the Magnificent. Eight gates were constructed within the Walls. The gates are open and serve as passageways to the sacred and historical sites and markets of the city, with exception of the Golden Gate or Mercy Gate, as it is also known, which remains closed. It is said that this gate will be opened miraculously, when the Messiah comes and the dead are resurrected.

The "Gates of Jerusalem" Series, struck in gold and silver in strictly limited mintages, will take you on an amazing tour of the Walls of Jerusalem, over thousands of years of history.
