Copper medal to mark the founding of the Moshava Rishon Le'Zion, 1882, Rare
The medal was made in the same year the Moshava was founded, 1882.
On one side of the medal there is the landscape of the Moshava, with the indication of the year under it. Around the illustration: "Rishon Le'Zion Hine Hinam, Ve'Liyerushalayim Mevaser Eten / Colonia Rishon Le'Zion" ("A harbinger to Zion will I give and to Jerusalem a messenger of good tidings / the colony Rishon Le'Zion"). On the reverse side there is the Star of David and two gates: on the right side, a Jew sowing the land and on the left, Jews beside the Western Wall. Around the illustration is the inscription: "Im Eshkachech Yerushalayim Tishchach Yemini. Mi Yiten MeZion Yeshuat Yisrael" ("If I forget thee Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its cunning. Oh that the salvation of Israel were to come out of Zion")
See: "Feuchtwanger Collection, Jewish Tradition and Art" Catalogue by Dr. Yesha'ayahu Shachar (Israel Museum Publication, Jerusalem, 1971).
Diameter: 2.8 cm.
Condition: Very Good.
