Already in the mid-nineteenth century there were more Jews in Jerusalem than Christians and Muslims. However, the years 1881-82 (5642-43) marked a turning point, when the first wave of immigrants arrived, later called the First Aliya. These newcomers mostly did not supplement the Jewish population in the cities of the so-called Old Yishuv, but laid foundations of new settlements, such as Rosh Pina, Rishon Lezion, Zichron Yaakov, Petach Tikva, Ness Ziona and Yesod Hamaalah. These new settlements, which received generous support from Baron Edmond de Rothchild, were spread out all over Eretz Israel, and constituted the beginning of the New Yishuv, the forerunners of the modern State of Israel. The medal's obverse depicts a map of Eretz Israel made up of flowers, with "100 Years of settlement inscribed in the center in Hebrew and English. Around the rim is the biblical verse "And I will plant them upon their land (Amos 9:15).On the obverse appears a stylized plow. From it emerges an image symbolizing the linkage between agriculture and industry, and the verse "And dwell in your land safely" (Leviticus 26:5)."Mintage 2,748 pieces struck in silver (same amount was struck in gold and almost 5,000 in tombac), uncirculated for wear, toned reverse, with original Certificate of Authenticity by Israel Government Coin and medal Corporation (IGCMC) in English and Hebrew, see high resolution scans to estimate condition yourself and pictures for the overall look and feel.Please note if eBay lists at the top of the page that I am away, I will only be able to ship coins once I return, I have to travel quite a bit for work.
