History :
Uncirculated 1927 Palestine 1 Mil...Palestine was long a province of the Ottoman Empire when Britain occupied it as a League of Nations mandate in 1920, disappointing both Jews and Arabs. British officials had made vague promises to both groups during World War One then decided to keep the region for Britain to protect their interests in the Suez Canal. Hopelessly embroiled in the Arab-Jewish conflict, Britain bailed out in 1948, The Palestinian currency was the pound, divided into one thousand mils but the largest coin issued was the hundred mils. This type was struck 1927-47; the 1927 is a most common date in all grades. Recorded mintage: 10,000,000. Specification: bronze. Catalog reference: KM-1.
