Masada Shall Not Fall Again – State of Israel, 5725-1965

caption:
In the center, an ancient shield and on its raised center, the inscription: “Masada shall not fall again”.  The letters piercing forth as a series of towers, all of it reminiscent of a fortress.  The English translation of the inscription is around the shield.  Round the rim, a flowing model of figures, armed soldiers lending a hand in the excavation and restoration of Masada.
