Israel – 2 Shekels 1989 – NGC PF 67 ULTRA CAMEO – Hanukka Lamp from Persia
Hanukka Coin, 1989 5750
For over 2,000 years, Jews in Iran led industrious lives. They enjoyed periods of prosperity but also some of the worst persecutions of Jews in Moslem lands. Iranian Jewry produced distinguished Jewish poets. philosophers and thinkers. Over the generations, the Jewish community in Iran declined from half a million in the 12th century to 25,000 at the end of the 1980s. Congregations were destroyed (such as Tabriz at the end of the 18th century), and others were forced to adopt Islam (Mashhad, March 1839). Zionism imbued Iran’s Jews with a sense of pride and hope for redemption, which became a reality with the creation of the State of Israel and the immigration of 60,000. After the Islamic Revolution (1979), 50,000 more Jews left Iran.
