The seven-armed menorah was the most prominent of the sacred tools of worship, and even before the Temple was destroyed it became a well-known symbol and was engraved on a coin featuring Hasmonean King Antigonus II Mattathias (1), carved into the walls of the priests' homes in Jerusalem and embossed on various stone tools. The two olive branches which appear in the national symbol are designed to express a message of peace. Issue: May 2018 Other Philatelic products issued May 2018
