In celebration of the State of Israel's 36th Anniversary, the Israel Government Coins and Medals Corporation has minted a set including all coins in circulating in 1984.
The set contains seven coins currently in circulation, including the new 10 sheqel coin depicting an oar-driven ship from the time  of Herod Archelaus (4 B.C.E - 6 C.E), with galley, five oars, a rudder, a battering ram and a cabin.
On the side of the nominal value of the 5 and 10 sheqel coins appear two stars copied from the coins of Alexander Yannai (103 B.C.E.-76 B.C.E) and the word "Sheqalim" in Latin and Hebrew.
Each coin is mint-marked with a tiny Star of David.
