| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a traditional Yemenite Hanukkah oil lamp (Chanukiah) of ancient stone form, rendered in high relief, with eight elongated oil reservoirs arranged in a row along its upper surface and a decorative floral or geometric medallion at the top. Beneath the lamp, an ornate band of interlocking spiral and scroll motifs in Yemenite folk-art style occupies the lower field. A Hebrew legend arcing along the upper rim reads 'חנוכה מתימן · אסלה בתמר' ('Hanukkah from Yemen — a lamp in a date palm'), identifying both the festival and the lamp's cultural origin. |
