| Obverse description | Central device depicting an ornate 18th-century North African Hanukkah lamp (chanukiah) rendered in high relief, featuring an elaborately decorated backplate with Moorish-style arched filigree ornamentation, flanked by two smaller decorative oil vessels on either side. The lamp rests on a flat base and is surmounted by a ring finial at the apex of the backplate. A Hebrew legend curves along the lower portion of the field, reading: חנוכה בצפון אפריקה המאה הי"ח (Hanukkah in North Africa, 18th Century). |
