The series of medals issued by the Israel Government Coins & Medals Corporation to commemorate the Historical Cities of Israel. Issued from 1965-1966. Set of 9 struck in Silver and Yellow Bronze (Tombac).

Acre is mentioned early in history as one of the cities captured by the Egyptian Pharoah, Tutan Khaman, in 1478 B.C.E. The city was part of the area assigned to the tribe of Asher following the conquest by Joshua. Alexander of Macedon passed through it in 333 B.C.E. thereafter Greeks began to dominate the population. In the Mishnah and the Talmud, Acre is mentioned as a city with a sizable Jewish community. The Byzantine Christians, taking over the land from the Romans, built splendid churches in Acre. Jews continued to live in Acre during the Moslem conquest which began in 640 C.E. When the Crusaders conquered Acre in 1104 C.E. some of the most famous contemporary Jews were living there, among them Nachmanides. The city witnessed rapid growth during Turkish rule in the 17th century. Its fortress withstood the Napoleonic siege in 1799.
