Beschrijving voorzijde A stylized Maccabean flaming torch occupies the left-center of the field, depicted with a columnar base and upswept flames rendered in relief. To the right, the Hebrew legend reads 'LIRA ISRAELIT' (Israeli Pound) with the date 1961 in Western numerals accompanied by the Hebrew year inscription 'תשכ"ב'. Below, the issuer's name appears in Hebrew ('ישראל') and in Arabic ('اسرائيل'). A curved Hebrew inscription arcs along the left margin of the field, referencing the Hanukkah festival theme.

Aanvullende informatie

Israel's Hanukkah coin series, issued annually from 1958 onward, was conceived as a cultural project as much as a monetary one — each year drawing on a different historical period of Jewish lamp tradition. The 1961 issue references the Maccabean revolt of the 2nd century BCE, the very event Hanukkah commemorates, making it one of the more historically pointed entries in the series.

KM#34 was struck at the Utrecht Mint in the Netherlands, Israel lacking sufficient domestic minting capacity at the time.
