Interesting fact

The Hanukkah - Algeria Lamp coin was designed by Israeli artist, David Harel, and features an image of a traditional Algerian lamp, known as a "hanukkiah," with nine branches, which symbolizes the eight days of the miraculous oil during the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, plus the shamash (helper candle) in the center. The coin's design also includes the inscription "Hanukkah 5770" in Hebrew, and the coin's denomination, "½ New Sheqel," in both Hebrew and English.
