This 200 shekel Israeli commemorative stamp, issued in 1985, honors Leon Yehuda Recanati (1890–1945), a leading businessman and philanthropist who played a vital role in the economic development of pre-state Israel. Recanati was among the founders of the Israel Discount Bank and a supporter of education and Zionist initiatives. The design features a finely rendered monochrome portrait of Recanati, framed with inscriptions in Hebrew, English, and Arabic. The stamp reflects Israel’s tradition of recognizing pioneers in nation-building and finance.
