Israel – Fifty Mil Banknote | 50 Mil | 1952 | Series A - Fifty Mil banknote, denomination 50 Mil, issued by the Government of Israel in 1952. Printed on thick, firm paper characteristic of the early Mil issues, with a solid, full-bodied paper feel. Physical Condition – Current Evaluation The paper is firm, stable, and healthy, with no excessive softness or material fatigue. Right Margin (Obverse): Approximately 3.5 cm below the top edge of the note, there is a fine, elongated crease running along the right margin and extending about 2 mm into the printed area. The crease is soft and even, with no sharp ink break. Above the crease, a very small brownish spot is visible on the obverse, localized, without spreading and without structural impact on the paper. Lower Left Area (Obverse): Between the denomination numeral “50” and the serial number, there is a soft, double diagonal crease, very light in nature. Above it are three extremely small surface dots, likely light contact or handling marks, with no deep penetration into the paper. Printing: Sharp and well-balanced printing. No evidence of double printing, misregistration, or ink deficiency or excess. Margins and Corners: Light wear only, consistent with moderate circulation. No open tears, no reinforcements, and no signs of adhesive or repairs. Final Conservative Grade VF (Very Fine) A well-preserved example with firm, healthy paper and only light, soft circulation creases. No printing errors or production flaws observed.
