| Reverse description | The reverse depicts an 18th-century Hanukkah lamp (Hanukkiah) from Prague, rendered in fine relief, drawn from the collection of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. The lamp features figural decorations including the likenesses of Moses and Aaron flanking the central body of the piece, characteristic of ornate Central European Jewish ceremonial art. The Hebrew inscription arcs across the upper field identifying the depicted object. The design is presented within the dodecagonal border of the coin with a plain field surrounding the central motif. |
