Comment
Noah's Ark is fourth in the Biblical Art Coin Series dedicated to works of art with a Biblical theme. The story is known for its important moral lesson – the evil doings and corruption of mankind led to the devastating flooding of the earth and only because of Noah's righteousness was the world saved from total destruction.The story symbolizes the basic values of Judaism – the belief in one God, setting moral values, honoring fellow-men and the covenant existing between the Creator and his creations.
Ever since, the dove, olive branch and rainbow have served as universal symbols of peace and harmony.
