Here is what Sheqel magazine says about the design:"
The Hanukka Lamp depicted on the obverse of the 1979/5740 Hanukka coin is from Egypt and dates from the 19th century. On the triangular panel one can easily discern the influence of a Gothic-Italian lamp from the 15th century. The passage engraved on the lamp, "For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching is light" (Proverbs 6:23), is appropriate to the Festival of Lights, and thus it was interpreted by the sages in the Talmud (Megilah). This Hanukka Lamp appears in a shallow depression in the form of a Star of David. From the corners three blossoms emerge and in the middle a miniature Star of David. Below the Star of David is the biblical passage.
