cabbagerose New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/15/2006 5:11 pm Hi, I am trying to find or at least get the information to find, a coin that recently sold on ebay. The auction was for a lot of three Jewish coins. The one I was interested in was silver. On the obverse is a wonderful raised picture of Noah's ark. On the reverse is a menorah with Gen: 8-11..."and lo, in her mouth an olive leaf freshly plucked". I don't know where the coin originated and so am posting here in world coins. I also do not have a date. I tried to get a photograph from the seller, but she said she was sorry, that she deleted the picture right after she mailed the coins to her buyer. I'm hoping that someone here will recognize this coin and give me enough information to find one. Thanks so much!! Report this Post to the Staff

The Menorah Identifies the coin as being from Isreal this is a common symbol on their coins ,, I have looked thru my Krause which goes back to 1900 sorry I dont have the older editions, but I find nothing matching your description. It maybe a commerative or something of that type. be patient lets see what info others can find !! Rick Edited by Metalman 04/15/2006 6:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
cabbagerose New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/15/2006 9:13 pm Thanks, Rick, for the time you took in looking through your book for this. I just had an email from the seller of the coin and she gave me some additional information!! The coin had no year, but it was inscribed on the smooth edge... MACO STERLING JUDAIC HERITAGE SOCIETY - 0259 Maybe this will help! Thanks!!! Deb Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 04/15/2006 9:27 pm Sounds like it was a medal or medallion rather than a commemerative,, try googling the makers name and see what you come up with ,, perhaps they can be contacted directly for info on the medal ,, and if there are any available. You can also enter the name of the medal into your wants area of ebay and be notified if and when another comes up forsale. Hope this helps !! Rick Report this Post to the Staff

Here's the page to all of them: http://www.commem.com/prod14.htm Hope this helps. Searching for this coin, I realised how beautiful commemoratives Israel has.
