ISRAEL "Hadassah" Hospital Mount Scopus Bronze Medal (Israel Gov. Coins & Medals Corp. Ltd., 1975)

The Hadassah University Hospital on Mount Scopus was dedicated in 1939 and rapidly acquired a reputation for being the best equipped in the Middle East. With the increasing attacks on the Jewish community, intending to frustrate the establishment of a Jewish State, access to Mount Scopus became more and more dangerous. On May 8, 1948, it became necessary to evacuate the last of the medical staff from Mount Scopus. Soldiers of "Haganah" were left behind to maintain Jewish sovereignty and to guard the installation. Jerusalem was reunited on June 8, 1967, after the Six Day War. Hadassah leaders raised their ensign on Mount Scopus and declared: 'This is the banner of a war against ignorance, disease - the banner of Peace. On raising it we hereby vow - this hospital shall come back to life again."

59mm. High relief design by The Shamir Brothers in an antique finish. Limited edition of 3,807.
