Description: THE GOLEM OF PRAGUE OFFICIAL MEDAL 2008/5768 FIRST MEDAL IN THE “JEWISH FOLKTALES” SERIES This fascinating new series of medals introduces us to the enchanted world of Jewish Folktales – stories that exemplify the special humor and wisdom of the Jewish people. The first medal in the series is devoted to one of the most famous Jewish legends, a story filled with mystery and imagination, a story that might be said to be ahead of its time – the Golem of Prague. It is told that Rabbi Judah Loew, a 16th century rabbi known as the Maharal of Prague, created a golem, or in modern terms a robot, to help protect the Jews of the ghetto from persecution and breathed life into it using special incantations. Obverse: On the face of the medal the likeness of the Golem, against the background of the Old-New Synagogue in Prague where, according to the legend, the remains of the Golem still lie. Reverse: The reverse side is in common with all of the medals in this series, showing a grandfatherly figure telling a tale to his grandchildren and strengthening the ties that bind the generations, old and young alike, together. Edge: Gold and Silver medals: Smooth. Bronze medal: Milled. Designer: Aharon Shevo. Engraving: USA. Mint: Silver and Bronze medals: USA. Gold medal: ICMC Mint.* The images of the products are for illustration purposes only. Please note that some older items may have slight imperfections due to the natural aging of the metal.
