| Obverse description | Central device depicts an ornate Syrian (Damascus) Hanukkah lamp rendered in high relief, featuring an elaborately decorated arched canopy surmounted by a suspension ring and a Star of David finial, supported by two twisted columns and enclosing an eight-branched menorah with oil fonts. The lamp rests upon a decorative pedestal with geometric ornamentation. A curved Hebrew legend along the lower rim reads 'חנוכה מדמשק המאה הי"ח' (Hanukkah lamp from Damascus, 18th century), identifying the historical artifact depicted. |
