David - Third in the Monitin Series
Official Medal 5767/2006
The Midrash relates that four biblical personalities, Abraham, Joshua, David and Mordechai, had coins issued in their honor and through these coins each of them gained world renown. The Midrash also describes the designs that appeared on each side of the coins. Israel Government Coins and Medals Corporation has chosen to strike the coins described in the Midrash, on medals. The coin dedicated to David is described thus in the Midrash: “Staff and Pack on one side and a Citadel on the other” relating to “the Tower of David”.
Obverse: The obverse side of the medal reflects David’s origins – a youth, a “ruddy” shepherd “with fine eyes and good looking”, tending his flock
Reverse: The Citadel on the reverse side relates to David the King and the fortress he built in Jerusalem which became the capital of Israel.
Edge: State emblem with the words "STATE OF ISRAEL" inscribed in Hebrew on the right and in English on the left; the metal and serial number.
Designer: Tamar Zahar.
Engraving: Romania
Mint: Silver and Bronze Medals: Romania. Gold medal: Israel Coins and Medals Mint.
