(en)
The fourteenth in the series of Hanukka coins was issued in conjuction with the signing of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel on March 6, 1979. The Hanukka lamp which appears on the coin was made in Egypt in the 19th century.
On the triangular panel one can easily discern the influence of a Gothic-Italian lamp from the 15th century. The passage engraved on the lamp "For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching is light" (Proverbs 6:23), is appropriate to the festival of lights and thus it was interpreted by the sages in the Talmud (Megilah)
