Beschreibung:

Thin cardboard card "Good for a regular lump of sugar". On verso of card is a stamp of "Neturei Karta" and serial number. With establishment of the State of Israel and the start of use of Bank of Israel's banknotes it was forbidden by law to print alternative banknotes, but it was acceptable to print "means of payment". These were used mainly in grocery stores in Jerusalem and in Kibbutzim for distribution of products such as sugar, bread and ice for those who did not use money. Neturei Karta, who wished to boycott "Zionist" money, used this exception in the law to print this card, that was used as money in the community and was equivalent to 1 Lira (and was not at all used for sugar distribution!). 6x7 cm. Very good conditiom, slight staining.
