| Reverse description | Central to the field is a detailed depiction of an Ashkenazic Hanukkah lamp (chanukiah) rendered in the style of a large ornate tablet or wall plaque, its surface inscribed with dense Hebrew text from the Hanukkah liturgy, framed by decorative baroque scrollwork along the top edge and flanked by two tall candles with flames. A Hebrew inscription arcs along the lower periphery of the field, identifying the lamp's cultural origin. |
