Three brass tokens, for use by the settlers of "Zichron Ya'akov". Minted in Paris in 1885.
The tokens were used by the settlers but their use spread to Arabs living in adjacent villages who traded with the Jews. Noted on one side is their value surrounded by the inscription "Zichron Jacob" and on the second side "Zichron Ya'akov" in Hebrew letters. The tokens have the value of 1, ½ and ¼ (undecided if piaster or metlik). Tokens of other values were not minted.
