Interesting fact
The Hanukkah-Jerusalem Lamp coin was designed by Israeli artist and sculptor, David Shapira. The coin features a depiction of a traditional Hanukkah menorah, with the seven branches and the shamash (helper candle) in the center. The menorah is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, symbolizing the eternal flame of the Hanukkah candles. The coin's design is meant to represent the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days during the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabean Revolt.
