Description:
Hebrew keyboard. Dating based on twdb serial number lists. Coinage symbol is wrong for the year. It is for post-independence (1948) coinage: Israeli Lira, each 100 pruta. Pre-independence, British Mandate is for Erez-Israel Lira (Palestinian Lira), divided into 1000 "Mil".
Possible explanation is that the coinage key was replaced after 1948.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes Baby on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes Baby By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
