Thanks, Susan, for the first CoinQuest appraisal for an Israeli coin. You have a silver 5 lirot that commemorates the 16th anniversary of the Israel Museum. These are selling retail in the range of $25 to $35 US dollars, but the price goes up and down with silver. Look up the price of silver at kitco.com and multiply by 0.723, which is the number of troy ounces of silver in this coin.
