Comments

Images show all 4 types of 5 Girsh coin, which were grouped by
1. "Ribbon with equal sections" - KM# 58.1 (1975) and KM# 58.3 (1980. normal or proof)




2. "Ribbon with long central section" - Km# 58.2 (1980) and KM# 58.4 (1980)



Easiest way to identify: Never look on size and style of legends ! Follow these simple rules:
58.1 is only year 5 Ghirsh with 1975 year. If You have 1975 5 Ghirsh - its Km 58.1
Only 5 Girsh with 1980 year and equal sections is KM # 58.3 (normal or proof. They both have same design) - most common type
5 Ghirsh with year 1980, and long central section - You have 58.2 or 58.4. If Arabic " 5" is large - it is 58.2 .
If not - 58.4 .
