Translation:Twelfth Year of the State of IsraelCentenary of Herzl's Birth MintBern, Switzerland (1225-date)CommentsThe Israel 12th Anniversary Coin honored the 100th anniversary of the birth of Theodore Herzl, the Herzl Centenary. "If the Jewish people desire it, then they will have their own State", wrote Benjamin Ze'ev Herzl in his book 'The Jewish State". He aroused the collective will of a nation and raised the dreams of redemption on the road to political realization. In September 1897 Herzl wrote: "In Basel I founded the Jewish State. Perhaps in five years, but certainly in 50 years, everyone will be convinced of this." On November 29, 1947, exactly fifty years later, the General Assembly of the United Nations passed a resolution recommending the establishment of an independent Jewish State. Minted at the Bern Swiss Federal Mint (Switzerland) with the letter "מ" (Mem) mintmark in the Proof coins:
