Interesting fact
The Hanukkah - Prague Lamp coin was designed by Israeli artist and sculptor, Yitzhak Gerber. The coin features a depiction of a traditional Hanukkah menorah, with eight branches and a ninth branch for the shamash (helper candle) in the center. The menorah is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, and the background features a stylized image of the Prague skyline, including the famous Charles Bridge. The coin's design is meant to symbolize the connection between the Jewish people and the city of Prague, which has a rich history of Jewish culture and tradition.
