| Reverse description | The reverse displays a finely detailed depiction of an 18th-century Syrian (Damascene) Hanukkah lamp, presented within an ornate arched architectural frame. The lamp is richly ornamented with intricate foliate scrollwork, twin columns, and a central menorah flanked by decorative oil fonts and a base with eight wick holders. A crescent finial crowns the arched backplate, reflecting the lamp's Middle Eastern artistic heritage. The Hebrew inscription 'חנוכיה מדמשק המאה הי״ח' (Hanukkah lamp from Damascus, 18th century) appears along the lower rim of the coin. |
