Medal-Amulet "Zechut Yerushalayim", 1920
Medal-amulet. Silver? (Unstamped). Eretz Israel, 1920.
On one side, the inscription "The merit of Jerusalem will protect you 5680, the year of redemption" is prominent between two branches and at the top is a small Magen David; on the other side are decorations, a Magen David in which the name of G-d appears - the letters Shin, Dalet, Yud. Possibly, the amulet was struck in honor of the appointment of Herbert Samuel as High Commissioner of Palestine in the atmosphere of joy that permeated Eretz Israel and the world with the appointment of a Jew to that position. Diameter: 2.5 cm. Good condition.
