Israel - 1 Lira 1962 - Hanukka Lamp from Italy - Hanukka Coin - PCGS MS 66
The fifth of the Hanukka coins has as its theme a Hanukkah lamp from the collection of the Bezalel National Museum in Jerusalem, an Italian bronze specimen of the 17th century. This type was common in the 15th century in North Africa and Sicily, and in the 18th century found its way as far as Poland, which proves once more how strongly Jewish communities throughout the Diaspora were linked together by cultural ties.
Obverse:
Inside a triangular incuse with curved sides, the inscription in three lines in Hebrew "1 Israeli Lira". Below, under a spiral pattern, the word "Israel" in Hebrew and Arabic in two lines. Underneath again, the year "1962" and the Hebrew lettering for 5723.
Reverse:
Inside a triangular incuse with curved sides again, a decorated Hanukka lamp, seen from the front. Underneath, the inscription in Hebrew "Hanukkia from Italy, 17th century".
