Israel 1978/5738 5 sheqalim, Chaim Weizmann / Shehem (Damascus) Gate (IL6)

Description

P-44, 1978 Israel 5 sheqalim note; here is how Sheqel describes the design:
"
The 5 Sheqalim banknote shows an effigy of Chaim Weizmann (1874-1952), chemist, Zionist leader, president of the World Zionist Organization and the first president of Israel from 1949 until his death in 1952. Weizmann is noted for major chemical inventions which helped the British war effort in World War I. These, and his close relations with British Foreign Secretary Lord Arthur Balfour, are considered crucial reasons for the issuance of the Balfour Declaration of 1917, in which "...His Majesty's Government views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people..." Weizmann founded the scientific research institute in Rehovot, later renamed the Weizmann Institute of Science. Both Chaim Weizmann and his wife Vera are buried on the grounds of the Weizmann Institute.
On the banknote's reverse, behind the portrait of Chaim Weizmann, appears the central library building of the Weizmann Institute.
The reverse depicts the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem.
