Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was designed by Israeli artist and sculptor, Yitzhak Danziger, and features a depiction of a traditional Hanukkah lamp, also known as a Menorah, with eight branches and a ninth branch for the shamash (helper candle) in the center. The coin's design was inspired by the Babylonian Jewish community's tradition of using a lamp with eight branches to light the Hanukkah candles.
