| Reverse description | The reverse displays a finely detailed depiction of an ancient Persian Hanukkah lamp (hanukiah), rendered in high relief against a smooth, mirror-like proof field. The lamp is of a star-shaped, multi-pointed form with a central oil well and a broad, ornately decorated rim, characteristic of Persian Jewish metalwork. Below the lamp, a Hebrew legend in a single arc reads 'חנוכיה קדומה מפרס' ('Ancient Hanukkah Lamp from Persia'). The design emphasizes the historical and cultural significance of this Diaspora Judaica artifact. |
