We would have to see the document. If it was issued by the Palestine Mandate government, then like the money of the time, it may mean Eretz Yisroel. Many Jews saw the area as Land of Israel, and aleph-yod was added to show that. You can see examples of notes and coins at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_pound#/media/File:PSE-2m.jpg Dani

In the 1932 census in Tzfat, my great-grandmother's country of birth and nationality is described in Hebrew letters as "Aleph Yud". Could someone shed a light as to what it means? I guess it's an acronym, but I cannot find its meaning. Thank you, Amiel Moskona
