Israel – A pair of 10 lira coins 1976 – Menorah from the United States – Silver 500, 20g, 34mm
Hanukka Lamp from the United States
Hanukka Coin 5737-1976
The eleventh in the series of Hanukka coins depicts a Hanukka lamp from the United States, marking the Bicentennial Jubilee of American Independence. Among the Puritan settlers in the New World there was almost complete identification with the Biblical people of Israel.
The story of the Exodus from Egypt and the Promised Land was especially applicable to the historical experience and the chosen mission of the New England settlers. They saw themselves as the "New Israel" and the North American territories were the "chosen land". They gave their settlements in the new land, Biblical, Palestinian names, and their children were named after Biblical heroes.
Their theocratic state concept was conceived as a covenant with G-d, a new version of the Covenant with Abraham, and it founded the basic structure of the future American Republic.
Obverse:
Face value "10 Lirot" in Hebrew and below, the State emblem. Around the border, "Israel" in Hebrew, Arabic and English and the
mint year "5737-1976".
Reverse:
In the center the Hanukka lamp from the U.S., from the Jewish Museum collection in New York. The lamp is made of tin and could be placed in a box. It was used by the Jewish peddler who desired to observe the Hanukka Festival and "Celebrate the Miracle" even while on the
road, making his rounds with his merchandise, far from home and his fellow Jews. Around the border, the legend: "Early American Hanukka Lamp" in Hebrew and English.
