Interesting fact

The 50 Sheqalim coin from Israel, minted in 1984-1985, features a unique design that reflects the country's cultural and religious heritage. On one side, the coin depicts a stylized image of a menorah, which is a symbol of Judaism and represents the seven-branched candelabrum used in Jewish worship. The menorah is surrounded by an ornate border, adding to the coin's aesthetic appeal. This design was created by the Israeli artist and sculptor, Yitzhak Danziger, who is known for his work in commemorative coins and medals.
