Israeli State medallion celebrating the Great 2000 Jubilee

This is a bronze/tombac medal from the State of Israel minted by the Holy Land Mint to commemorate the Great Jubilee in the year 2000. The medal obverse features a detailed relief of the Garden Tomb, a prominent site in Jerusalem, with the inscription "THE GREAT 2000 JUBILEE" and "GARDEN TOMB". The reverse has an olive tree holding a panel with a representation of loaves in a basket bordered by two fishes. The Great 2200 Jubilee medallion was produced in two sizes – this is the larger 70mm diameter. There doesn’t appear to be a record of how many medallions were pressed, but this is number 0735 of the run.
