Description:
Hebrew keyboard Adler Special or Adler Record. I don't know how to tell them apart, and the serial number lists overlap for these two models.
The keyboard has coinage symbols for three currencies: Israeli, USA, British. This is unusual.
The top left key has a specific symbol for an acronym: × "×, which appears as part of several words (typically in business or legal writing),
but never on its own. I am guessing that this is the equivalent of the "ea" key which is present in some of the non-Hebrew versions of the Adler typewrites,

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