Comment
http://sheqel.info/2-8.htmInteresting fact
The Hanukkah - Theresienstadt Lamp coin was designed by Israeli artist and sculptor, David Shapira. The coin's design features a depiction of a Hanukkah menorah, with each branch of the menorah symbolizing a different aspect of the holiday. The center branch represents the shamash, or helper candle, which is used to light the other candles. The other branches represent the eight days of Hanukkah, with each day being represented by a different symbol, such as a dreidel, a Hanukkah gelt, or a Star of David. The coin's design also includes an image of a Theresienstadt lamp, which is a traditional Jewish lamp used during Hanukkah. The lamp is a symbol of hope and resilience, and its inclusion on the coin serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving Jewish tradition and culture.
