5 grams Gold Bar - Lion of Judah

Lion of Judah
The Holy Land Mint 5 grams Gold Bar

The “Lion of Judah” Israeli Gold Bar features the well-known lion emblem of Judah, against a background of the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. Produced in a limited edition with a changing annual design, this bar incorporates symbols of profound significance, representing the rich history of Jewish culture and the resilience of the people of Israel.

The “Lion of Judah” is an ancient historical and cultural symbol of special significance in Judaism, first mentioned in the Book of Genesis, when the patriarch Jacob blessed his son Judah, that he should be “strong as a lion”. The lion has therefore come to symbolize the Tribe of Judah and, indeed, the entire people of Israel. King David stemmed from the Tribe of Judah and this is an additional reason for which the Tribe of Judah has come to be recognized as the backbone of Jewish history, representing power, leadership and courage.

The walls of the Old City of Jerusalem represent the resilience and unwavering spirit of Jerusalem – the historical capital of the Tribe of Judah and entire people of Israel.

The face of the bar is graced with the Lion of Judah against a background of the Walls of Old Jerusalem, while the reverse bears the trademark of The Holy Land Mint, the metal fineness and weight, inscription I.C.M.C and serial number.

The bar design, which combines the Lion of Judah and Walls of Jerusalem and highlights the immense significance of these symbols, will eternalize the inseparable connection between the Jewish people, its heritage and its values. The shining “Lion of Judah” Bar will be a lasting, tangible piece of rich history and symbol of Jewish identity, which remain continual sources of inspiration for the generations.
