| Reverse description | Central field depicts an ornate Hanukkah lamp (hanukkiah) of the Curacao Jewish community type, rendered in high relief with elaborate floral and foliate decorative elements surrounding the oil font. The lamp features a distinctive arched gallery surmounted by a finial at its crown, with a central oil reservoir and decorative scrollwork, flowers, and leaf motifs filling the field. The overall composition reflects the baroque artistic tradition of Sephardic Jewry in the Dutch Caribbean, presented without accompanying inscriptions on the reverse field. |
