It is also included in coinage and various types of ancient and modern cultural works. For example, pomegranates were known in Ancient Israel as the fruits that the scouts brought to Moses to demonstrate the fertility of the "promised land". The Book of Exodus describes the me'il ("robe of the ephod") worn by the Hebrew high priest as having pomegranates embroidered on the hem, alternating with golden bells, which could be heard as the high priest entered and left the Holy of Holies. According to the Books of Kings, the capitals of the two pillars (Jachin and Boaz) that stood in front of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem were engraved with pomegranates. Solomon is said to have designed his coronet based on the pomegranate's "crown" (calyx). back: Value and year Script: Hebrew Lettering:10אגורותחדשותתש׳׳ם Translation: 10 New Agorot 5740 (1980) • quantity 1• demonetized {no longer in circulation} polished Nickel-Bronze coin• diameter: 16 mm {SMALLER THAN SIZE OF A USA DIME COIN}• weight: 2.1 g• comes with a 24" brass ball chain Israel Jewish coin pendant necklace jewelry Jerusalem Tel Aviv Pomegranate Grenadine Haifa Rishon LeZion Petah Tikva Ashdod Jaffa Masada Hebrew menorah 7 Species Torah Rosh Hashanah 613 Mitzvot Talmud Zion Star of David Netanya Judea Beersheba Holon Safed Akko Nazareth Beersheba Eilat Ashkelon Hanukkah
