| Obverse description | Central design depicts a triangular French Hanukkah oil lamp (Judaeo-French type, 14th century), rendered in stylized relief with a decorative pierced circular medallion at its center, a row of oil fonts along its base, and an ornate suspension ring at the apex. The lamp rests on a wavy base element suggesting an oil trough, with a spout extending to the right. A Hebrew inscription curves along the right side of the field reading 'חנוכיה מצרפת המאה הי״ד' (Hanukkah lamp from France, 14th century). A small Star of David mint mark appears at the bottom of the field. |
