| Reverse description | Central field depicts a stylized Corfu Hanukkah lamp (Chanukiah), rendered in an ornate Baroque style with elaborate scrollwork and decorative flourishes characteristic of the Jewish ceremonial lamps of the Corfu community. The lamp is shown frontally, displaying its intricate filigree-like design with eight oil receptacles surmounted by decorative finials. Below the lamp, a Hebrew inscription identifies the lamp's origin and the Jewish calendar year, all set within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. |
