Detailed description
Series "Biblical Art" 2016 - Samson in the Temple of the Philistines
This exclusive silver coin issued by the Bank of Israel in 2016 is dedicated to famous biblical events. This time the theme chosen is Samson in the Temple of the Philistines.
Samson is the third of the last Judges of the children of Israel, mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, in the Tanakh. His story is told in the Book of Judges in chapters 13 to 16. Samson is something of a Hercules figure, using great strength to fight his enemies and winning heroic battles that would be impossible for an ordinary man.
The coin is the twentieth in the world's popular "Biblical Art" series and depicts on its reverse the motif of Samson tearing down the pillars in the temple of the Philistines. Samson then firmly grasped the two middle columns on which the building rested and rebelled against them, one with his right hand and the other with his left. And he said: "Let me perish with the Philistines!" He exerted his strength, and the house collapsed... ( Bible Book of Judges 16:26-31).
The obverse shows the national emblem of Israel, the face value, alongside the motif of the broken stone pillar, the year of issue, and the inscriptions "SAMSON IN THE OHILISTINE HOUSE", "JUDGE 16" (in English/Hebrew/Arabic).
The coin comes in a gift box with a certificate of authenticity in a limited edition of only 2,800 pieces for the whole world!
