elf Israel 10 Lirot JE 5734 AD 1974 Pidyon Haben Proof OGP

Description

KM 76.2, one year type, for the annual series of Pidyon HaBen coins. Proof silver crown, with a tray containing ancient Hebrew coins on the reverse.  The coin comes in its vinyl wallet, with its papers of issue.
This is a Proof coin.  This is confirmed by its reeded edge and the Hebrew letter "mem" at the left of the obverse (as well as the "Proof" on the wallet.)
The Pidyon HaBen is the payment to redeem a non-Levite firstborn son from being dedicated to the temple.  The payment should be about 130 grams of pure silver; these coins are specially designed so that five of them comprise the required silver.
The coin is in its Original Government Packaging, which for these coins, may mean that they have an oily feel to them or their holders.  The oil can be removed with acetone (fingernail polish remover).
