Israel - 2 Shekels 1997 - Lion And Pomegranate - NGC PF 68
7th in the FLORA AND FAUNA from the SONG OF SONGS Series
The Song of Songs is perhaps the most exalted of literary love songs. Judaism views the book, also known as the Song of Solomon, as a dialogue between G-d and the Children of Israel and an expression of His eternal love.
For some the songs are viewed simply and compassionately as an expression of innocent, pastoral love. All are enthralled by their beauty and the expressions of deep love for the landscape, springtime, nature and the flora of the Land of Israel.
The Lion and the Pomegranate is 7th in the Flora and Fauna from the Song of Songs Series. The lion is noted as the "King of Beasts" in the Talmud and is mentioned more than 150 times in the Five Books of Moses, by a variety of names. It served as the symbol of the Kingdom of Judah and to this day symbolizes the City of Jerusalem. The pomegranate symbolizes fertility and the imagery of a beloved’s beauty "Thy temples are like a pomegranate".
Obverse: Face value in Hebrew and English, a pair of pomegranates, the Israel State Emblem, "Israel" in English, Hebrew and Arabic, around the border, biblical inscription “piece of a pomegranate, Song of Songs 4:3” in Hebrew and English.
Reverse: The image of a lion moving through a background of flora, around the border, biblical inscription “LIONS’ DENS, "Song of Songs 4:8" in Hebrew and English, mint year
