Israel - Medal, 1960 Congress of the Union
Israel – Medal, 1960 Congress of the Union
The 15th congress of the International Union of Local Authorities met in Israel in 1960.
The obverse of the medal depicts the emblem of the congress, a stylized key incorporating a candelabrum and the Roman numeral XV. Interestingly, the the candelabrum is not a seven-armed Menorah, Israel’s State emblem, but a nine-armed Hanukka lamp. Whether this design deviation is related to the fact that the congress was held in the second half of November, in close proximity to the Hanukka festival, remains an open question.
The medal’s reverse shows the State emblem.
The congress delegates were presented with a version that has on its reverse a dedication by the Minister of the Interior. Some medals include the name of the recipient.
