France, Second Zionist Congress Medal (1898) by Sam-
uel Beer
. The rare 2nd Zionist Congress commemorative medal
is 63mm, 111 gm. It was designed by Samuel Friedrich Beer,
and struck in bronze in Paris. Beer (1846-1912) was a well
known Jewish sculptor and medallist, and a personal friend of
Herzl. Daniel Friedenberg considers this medal to be "one of the
most important Jewish medals ever struck". The obverse
depicts an allegorical figure pointing to a new dawn/horizon for
the Jewish people, and the reverse features a Biblical quotation
(in stylized Hebrew), a prophecy, from the Book of Ezekiel
(Yekhezkel) "Behold and I take the sons of Israel from among
the nations and I have brought them to their land."
This example has a problem-free obverse with no signs of rub-
bing, but there are scattered dings in the reverse field. Overall,
an attractive and very desirable example of one of the most
important Judaic medals ever made.
Estimated Value .................................................$850 - 1,000
