The Bank of Israel issued Israeli Pound banknotes in 8 different denominations, including this 50 Israeli Lirot banknote (Chaim Weizmann). They are part of the obsolete Israeli Pound banknotes series. The Bank of Israel started issuing these 50 Israeli Pound banknotes in 1973. They were withdrawn from circulation in 1978.

Israel’s first President, Chaim Weizmann, is pictured on the banknote of I£50 Iraeli Lirot. In the background of his portrait is an image of the Wix Library in the Weizmann Institute of Science named after him. The back side of the 50 Israeli Pounds banknote shows an image of Damascus Gate, one of the main entrances to the Old City of Jerusalem.

In 1980 this 50 Lirot banknote was replaced by a 5 Shekel banknote with the same design, following Israel’s currency changeover from the Pound (Lira) to the Shekel at a rate of 10 lirot to 1 shekel.
