(Subsidiary of the Anglo-Palestine Bank) - 1940s–1950s - A remarkable group of five original share certificates issued by The A.P.B.

They record changes in authorized capital from £P.500,000 to IL.800,000, reflecting the institution’s transition from the British Mandate to the early Israeli economy. A historically important and visually impressive set documenting the corporate evolution of the financial entity that became Bank Leumi le-Israel.
