Comment
The prophecy of Isaiah speaks of a time in which mankind will enjoy peace and harmony, as well as moral, spiritual and material fulfillment. Evil, envy and hatred will no longer exist; the world will be one in which peace, love and brotherhood prevail among man and animal alike.The well known verse "the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid . . ." (Isaiah 11:6) represents the prophecy of an ideal era of peace and harmony. The animal kingdom, normally one of the hunters against the hunted, will lie side by side in harmony, along with all mankind.
The coin was awarded second place (the Silver Medal) in the Vicenza Numismatica International Coin Design Competition, held in Italy.
Interesting fact
The Wolf with the Lamb coin is a unique piece as it features a wolf and a lamb together, symbolizing the Jewish belief of peace and harmony between different species. The coin's design is based on a passage from the Bible, specifically in the book of Isaiah, which describes a time when "the wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them" (Isaiah 11:6-7). This coin serves as a reminder of the importance of peace and unity, not just among humans but also between humans and animals.
