HOLY LAND NAZARETH During its first centuries, Nazareth was inhabited by Jews only. Over the generations, its Christian population grew because of its sacred significance for them. At the end of the 12th century and in the wake of the wars that followed, the city was destroyed by the Moslem conquerors. It was only in 1620 that Amir Fachat permitted the Franciscan monks to build churches and monasteries there. Today Nazareth is filled with shrines attracting Christian pilgrims, among them the "Church of Annunciation", the largest among Catholic churches in the Middle East. The obverse is graced by a modernistic panorama of the city consisting of horizontal lines of five different degrees of thickness. On the rim below, "Nazareth" appears in English. The reverse depicts a section of an inscription on marble dating from the 4th century discovered in Caesarea. Inscribed on the section is the fact that the 18th of the priestly watches that served in the temple came from Nazareth. This archeological discovery proves the Jewish character of Nazareth during the early centuries of the Christian era. On the rim, the legend "The 18th course Hapizzes Nazareth" appears in Hebrew and English. 1981 Metal: Silver 935, Weight: 26gr. Diameter: 37mm.
