| Reverse description | The reverse features a detailed relief depiction of an ancient stone seven-branched candelabrum (menorah), its branches composed of stylized open pomegranates with recessed oil containers at their tips, set against a roughly textured field evoking the stone surface from which it was carved. The design is based on a 2nd-century C.E. synagogue carving discovered in Tiberias. |
