Israel Official State Medal "Wedding Anniversary" 1978 Bronze 59mm UNC
Official State Medal 5738-1978
Description:
A wedding anniversary may have even greater significance than a birthday. Hassidim explain that marriage represents the fulfillment of the day of birth. However, the period of married life is generally longer than that between birth and marriage and as such represents the greater part of one's life on earth. It is considered a good deed to entertain the bride and groom on their wedding day, and this takes the form of being present at their time of joy which should be accompanied with singing, dancing and with gifts. A most appropriate gift for both the bride and groom will be one which will last a lifetime and will serve as a reminder of their wedding day. It should also serve as a token of friendship shown by those who participate at the wedding.

The obverse shows an antique marriage ring and the legend "An Everlasting edifice, Seven Benedictions". On the rim below, the English translation.
