The Hurva Synagogue coin is the fifth and final release in the beautiful "Jerusalem of Gold", featuring the 2013 Shrine of the Book Coin, the 2012 Menorah Coin, the 2011 Western Wall Coin, and the 2010 Tower of David Coin series.
The Story:
The synagogue was founded in the early 18th century by followers of Judah he-Hasid, but it was destroyed by Muslims years later in 1721. The plot lay in ruins for over 140 years and became known as the Ruin, or “Hurva”. In 1864, the Perushim rebuilt the synagogue, and although officially named the “Beis Yaakov Synagogue”, it retained its name as the Hurva. It became Jerusalem's main synagogue, until it too was deliberately destroyed after the withdrawal of the Israeli forces by the Arab Legion during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
After Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan in 1967, a number of plans were submitted for the design of a new building. After years of deliberation and indecision, a commemorative arch was erected instead at the site in 1977, itself becoming a prominent landmark of the Jewish Quarter. The plan to rebuild the synagogue in its 19th-century style received approval by the Israeli Government in 2000, and the newly rebuilt synagogue was dedicated on March 15, 2010.
The Hurva Synagogue has been an emblem of Jerusalem and its Jewish heritage through its continued reference in literature and culture. For decades, the synagogue’s arch has been the emblem of the Jewish quarter in the works of artists portraying the old city.
The Coin:
This 1 oz coin, struck in .9999 fine Gold, is crafted by The Holy Land Mint and has a face value of 20 New Sheqalim. The obverse depicts a view of the Hurva Synagogue. In the upper border is the word "Jerusalem" in English, Hebrew and Arabic and to the right, the Face Value, Mint Year and Star of David mint mark. The reverse shows the famous Roaring Lion, which appeared on a 2,800-year-old ancient seal discovered in archeological excavations at Tel Megiddo in the Jordan Valley in 1904. Soon after its discovery, this seal mysteriously disappeared in Constantinople. The lion is the symbol of the tribe of Judah and of Jerusalem.
