The eighth in the series of Hanukka coins represents a Hanukka lamp from the Iraqi Jewish community. It originates from the 18th century and is at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. It has been chosen as being symbolic of the spiritual strength and belief of Jews, in Arab countries, in their return to Zion and in our days of their leaving "the rivers of Babylon", from dark to light, from oppression to prosperity and from bondage to redemption in the Land of Israel.
