The Hanukkah-Syrian Lamp coin was designed by Israeli artist, David Harel, and features a depiction of a traditional Syrian lamp, which is a symbol of the holiday of Hanukkah. The lamp is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves and the inscription "Hanukkah 5765" in Hebrew. The coin was issued in 2005 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors. It is made of aluminum bronze and weighs 6.56 grams.
