| Additional information |
The Kiddush Cup coin belongs to the Judaic Art series launched by the Bank of Israel in 1987, each issue pairing a denomination with a specific object from Jewish ceremonial life. The series was conceived partly as a cultural documentation project — an official numismatic record of ritual objects that survived displacement, war, and the near-destruction of European Jewish communities in the twentieth century.
The Kiddush cup itself carries particular weight in this framing: many of the finest historical examples now held in Israeli museums were brought to the country by immigrants who carried them out of Europe during or after the Holocaust.
