Well, it is very clear that President Donald J. Trump has some supporters in Israel. And to rank him in contribution to Israeli history along side of Cyrus is amazing. (this is not Israeli currency)

An Israeli nongovernmental organization announced Friday it will feature President Trump's face on a symbolic coin that celebrates the Middle Eastern country's 70th anniversary of independence in honor of the U.S. Embassy's move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem this month.
The Mikdash Educational Center, a nonprofit educational and religious group, announced the tribute to Trump and America this week, days ahead of the new embassy's opening May 14.
“President Trump is starting a prophetic process by moving the American Embassy to Jerusalem. Just like King Cyrus 2,500 years ago said: ‘he charged me to build a house in Jerusalem’, here again, President Trump is building a house in Jerusalem," Rabbi Mordechai Persoff said in a statement.
On the front side of the coin, Trump's images will be set next to that of King Cyrus, a king from the Bible who permitted the Jews to return to Jerusalem after being exiled to Babylonia.
The U.S. government crest and that of the Persian Temple are also on the front side of the coin. The back shows a dove with an olive branch in its mouth as it flies over a temple.

THIS is absolutely amazing !
Oh no, that’ll be something else for Hellary to claim she deserved.
THIS is absolutely amazing !
I ordered one the day we opened the embassy. Hasn’t arrived yet.
Awesome! I want one of these! They will become collector’s items...
Wonderful!
The question is, will CNN foam at the mouth or ignore it?
Here’s a thread from February:

And where the coin can be obtained:

Thank you for saying. I think it is a huge complement to President Trump.
Agree
I believe Hillary is about to get what she deserves. It will not be an honor.
The last president was Ronald Reagan. None of the recent turkeys merited coinage! Only great men and women achieve this honor yet MSM will not mention this.
Trump is not a small thinker. His detractors and haters can pound sand. The people who count have his back, we will win this one. Besides, winning is what he does best.
It appears several groups minted such coins. None of them alike. Thanks for the links, I had missed them.
They will foam at the mouth and never mention anything about it.
But it will haunt them none the less.
I bet they sell a lot of them. And I believe many in Israel really do appreciate Trump. I know he and Bibi have been close friends a long time.
Obozo is the one who’s head is exploding now. smile.
The article says “symbolic” coin. On the “heads” side in the photo I don’t see any denomination.
So, isn’t this more of a commemorative medallion? Nice, but what’s the big deal?
From the first line under the picture of the coin:
“(this is not Israeli currency)”
Yes, it is a commemorative coin from a Jewish religious NGO. After I posted this I was informed that there appears to be other groups in Israel who have had similar coins struck.
I never implied it was anything more.
I wonder how long before moving our embassy back to Tel Aviv is a plank in the Democratic Party’s platform. I have no doubt that it would have a large number of supporters.
No disparagement towards you intended.
But, my first reaction when I heard of this last week was, “Wow! An Israeli coin with Trump on it!”
But when I realized it was a non-governmental agency, well, it was disappointing. It’s like the many medallions you see struck from private minting companies. Some are worth the metal they are composed of; others are more like the output of machines you put a penny into to squeeze it into a medallion.
My disappointment doesn’t have anything to do with your post.
