Menorahs have been featured on coinage since ancient times. Judea coinage from 40 BC circulated featuring a menorah design on some issues. Israel began to issue coins and medals featuring menorahs in the 1950s. In the article below, we take a look at a number of commemorative and circulation-issue pieces.

One of my favorites: 1979 Egyptian Chanuka Lamp (Menorah) on the occasion of the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty signed that year. The coin has both matte and prooflike surfaces making for beautiful contrast, even on the Unc version. The Proof version is virtually the same, just has the 'Mem' mintmark. 50% silver.
