Five coins and three kippot handed out by Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar and his wife Rebbetzin Alta Feiga to students of the Satmar boys' schools in Eretz Israel. [Presumably during the visit of the rebbe and rebbetzin to Eretz Israel in 1955].
Five 50-prutah Israeli pound coins – four minted in 1949 and one in 1954; three black kippot, with embroidered inscription in yellow thread.
35 years after the visit [in ca. 1990], the principal of the Satmar institutions R. Chaim Eliyahu Sternberg sent these coins and kippot to Rebbetzin Alta Feiga, the rebbe's widow – as a souvenir of the visit the rebbe paid to his institutions in Eretz Israel. The rebbetzin later gave the coins and kippot to R. Meir Spitz (son-in-law of R. Yosel Ashkenazi, the rebbe's attendant).

Letter handwritten and signed by R. Sternberg enclosed (Yiddish): "To the rebbetzin, enclosed are five Lirot [=5 50-prutah coins], from the hundreds of coins blessed and distributed by the rebbe of Satmar to the children in 18 boys' schools in Eretz Israel 35 years ago, and 3 kippot which the rebbetzin handed out 35 years ago to the children in the Satmar boys' schools – Chaim Eli. son of Chanah Gittel Sternberg".
