Issued by Israel in 1962, this 0.40 Israeli lira stamp features three golden crowns above an open Torah scroll, symbolizing the “Three Crowns” of Jewish tradition — the Crown of Torah, the Crown of Priesthood, and the Crown of Kingship. The central Hebrew inscription spells “Keter Torah,” reflecting the supreme honor of learning and wisdom. Designed in deep blue and silver tones, the stamp’s modernist composition celebrates the spiritual and intellectual heritage of Judaism. It is a striking example of Israel’s early symbolic philatelic art.
