Israel Haifa City Official Bronze Medal — IGCMC — 59mm — Panoramic Harbor Cityscape / Baha'i Shrine — Municipal Coat of Arms — Isaiah 32:15 — Original Sleeve
A beautiful and detailed official Israeli state bronze medal depicting the city of Haifa — Israel's principal port city on the slopes of Mount Carmel — produced by the Israel Government Coins and Medals Corporation (IGCMC), Israel's official state mint.
Obverse — Haifa Harbor Panorama: An extraordinarily detailed panoramic cityscape of Haifa viewed from the harbor. A modern passenger/cargo vessel rides the waves in the foreground, with the full sweep of the city rising behind — including the iconic golden-domed Baha'i Shrine and terraced gardens (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) prominently visible on the hillside, alongside city buildings, trees, and a harbor crane. The level of architectural and compositional detail in this relief is exceptional even by IGCMC standards.
Reverse — Haifa Municipal Coat of Arms: The official coat of arms of Haifa — a heraldic shield bearing a sailing ship between two towers over waves, topped by a mural crown with olive branch — rendered in sharp relief. The city name appears in three languages: HAIFA / חיפה / حيفا (English, Hebrew, Arabic) on a banner below. The biblical motto arcs around the field in English and Hebrew: "...AND CARMEL BE COUNTED FOR A FOREST... ISAIAH 32:15" — a verse from Isaiah prophesying the renewal of Mount Carmel, deeply meaningful to Haifa's identity.
Edge: Stamped I.G.C.M.C. ⊕ ב.ד.מ.י. — confirming IGCMC production and bronze metal designation.
