(Song of Songs 4.4). To mark the opening of the Jerusalem Municipal Museum on the site of the Tower of David, the Israel Government Coins and Medals Corporation has issued this bronze medal, whose attractive and special design is the creation of the well-known Jerusalem artist Nathan Karp. The Tower of David nestles on a high point controlling the Old City of Jerusalem. Throughout the history of the city, towers and forts were erected on this spot, with the aim of protecting Jerusalem's western face. In the fortress' courtyard, an impressive remnant of the Hasmonean wall was found, the "first wall" of the tower. Above the Herodian tower are the remains of the Byzantines, early Arabs, Crusaders, Mamelukes, and Ottomans. These remains illustrate the continuity of settlement in the fortress for more than 2,000 years. The name "Tower of David" which in earlier times referred to the Herodian tower in the courtyard of the fortress, passed, in the 19th century, to the Ottoman castle-mosque, and has become in local tradition one of the more popular symbols of Jerusalem. Obverse Silhouette of the Tower of David fortress with "Jerusalem City Museum" in the center, and "The Tower of David" near the rim, in Hebrew and English. Reverse In the center, a lion, a symbol of the city; surrounding it with the word "Jerusalem" twenty times in different languages. Edge The corporation emblem and initials IGCMC - in Hebrew and English, and serial number.

We have a beautiful dog, who loves to spread her hair on everything. Although I do my best to clean everything that I ship out, encountering some of her lovely hair is a possibility. I love to recycle, so there's a good chance that I will ship in a previously used envelope or box, and use paper and used grocery bags as packing and padding materials. All of my store items have a MAKE AN OFFER option. If you make a stupid offer, I might counter with a stupid offer of my own. An offer for a few dollars less is reasonable. An offer for half of the listed price is not. Good luck bidding!!! Sandy
