Palestine Israel, Templars token, 40 Paras, 1880-1917, HAFFNER CC-13C, type 3, PCGS AU50
The Templar tokens were minted in Germany in 1880 in the Royal Württemberg coin in the city of Stuttgart. The tokens were equivalent to the Turkish para and were issued in four values ​​5, 10, 20, and 40 paras. The community used these tokens to trade between the various Templar settlements and their many businesses in the colony. There are
three types of Templar tokens.
1) Brass face: plow in the center and with the caption "Centralcasse Des Tempels" on the back: token value
2) brass face like type 1, and in the back around the entry with the caption "Consummark"
3) Like type 2 but nickel-plated zinc
The Templars are members of a Christian organization founded in Württemberg in southern Germany in the mid-19th century. The organization sought to prepare the ground for the Second Coming of Christ and Redemption. According to the Templars, the redemption could only be accomplished through the residence and hard work in the Holy Land, in Jerusalem, where they aspired to maintain a model of ideal life by establishing productive villages. In 1856, a training farm was established in Kirschenharduf, Germany, after sending "spies" to patrol the country in 1858. After several failed attempts by small groups to seize land in the Jezreel Valley, in 1868, 454 members of the movement came to Israel under Ottoman rule. Upon arrival, they established the German colony in Haifa, along the street now called Ben-Gurion Boulevard. A year later (1869), 320 more settlers established the second colony in Jaffa. The first agricultural colony established by the movement was Sharona, which was established in 1871 on the mother of the Jaffa-Nablus road with 269 settlers. In 1873, 300 Templar settlers established a colony in Emek Refaim in Jerusalem, an area still known as the "German Colony." A suburb of the colony in Haifa was found on the Carmel and was called "Carmelheim." At the end of the first wave of settlement, 1,340 people lived in the colonies throughout the country, engaged in agriculture, handicrafts, trade, transportation, tourism, architecture, and more.
The second wave of settlement of the Templars was established in 1903, near the old colony in Jaffa, called "Vahala, " which inhabited the second generation of settlers. At the same time, three agricultural colonies were established outside the major cities: "Wilhelma" (1902) - now Moshav Bnei Atarot near Ben Gurion Airport, Bethlehem (1906) - now Moshav Bethlehem in the Galilee, and "Waldheim" - now Moshav Aloni Abba.
On the eve of World War I, the Templar communities throughout the country numbered 2,200. The Templars enjoyed good relations with the Ottoman authorities, were appreciated by the Arabs and Jews, and contributed significantly to the development of the settlement in the Land of Israel. They brought with them from Europe modern tools and processing methods for agriculture such as a "mixed farm, " new crops, a modern dairy farm, horse-drawn carriages, and a European architectural style.
In 1917, the Egyptian Expeditionary Force occupied southern and central Israel under British command, which imposed military rule. The Templars, citizens of the defeated German Empire, were considered enemy nationals, and their activities were banned. In 1918, 850 residents of the Templar colonies south of Egypt were exiled and placed in a detention camp. They deported three hundred of them back to Germany. With the establishment of the civilian administration of the British Mandate in Israel in July 1920, the Templars' activities in the country were re-inherited, and during the years 1920-1921, the exiles returned from Egypt and Germany. Most of the Templar Germans who lived in Israel in the 1930s, during the Nazi Party's rise to power in Germany, sought to maintain neutrality. They needed good relations with the local Jewish market that purchased most of their produce from them and the Arab population that provided them with cheap labor. However, they were increasingly exposed to Nazi party propaganda, and Nazi ideas became accepted among members of the community, which caused much tension between community members and the Jewish community.
After the Arab uprising in 1936, on the orders of the British Mandate authorities, the German colonies were surrounded by barbed-wire fences and guard towers and turned into detention camps. The German residents of Haifa were transferred north to Acre, to the Mizraa detention camp, and later some were transferred to the Galilee colonies. A particular unit of guards was placed to guard the settlements, numbering at its peak 300 men. In the camps, they confiscated radios. It was dark in the evening, and searches were carried out on the houses and the bodies of the detainees. In Europe, under Nazi occupation, Jews who had left Israel before the war were captured in concentration camps. The families in Israel pressured the Jewish Agency to work for their release. At the same time, Templars and Germans also pressured the German government to work for the release of their families imprisoned in detention camps in Eretz Israel. Israel and get back their property. The Jewish institutions opposed this request and asked the British to expel the other Templars from Israel. At the end of 1946, the British government announced that the Templars must leave the Land of Israel, but the deportation did not occur. On April 17, 1948, on the eve of the declaration of the State of Israel, the 4th Golani Regiment set out to occupy Waldheim and Bethlehem in the Galilee, amid fears that neighboring Arabs would capture the German colonies. Most of the Germans from Bethlehem in Galilee fled the scene. They were later arrested in the Arab village of Sforia by the defense forces on their way to Nazareth. The last Germans detained in Israel were sent to Cyprus, where they were imprisoned in Famagusta. After five months, they were transported to Australia and added to the other deportees who have lived there since 1941.
