The Story Behind the Coin and the Iconic ‘Ink Flag’

‘Operation Uvda’ was the final IDF campaign in Israel’s War of Independence. The highlight took place at Umm Rashrash, known today as Eilat. The iconic moment was the raising of the Israeli victory flag at a captured Egyptian police station.

After Israel’s victory, the commander of Israel’s Negev Brigade noticed that the unit was missing their Israeli flag. He immediately ordered his soldiers to make one by hand, using a white bed sheet and blue ink!

The iconic image of Israel’s final moments of victory, depicted on the Diamond Anniversary Coin, shows the Israeli ‘ink flag’ being raised by the brigade commander at the abandoned Egyptian base. The war was over!
