US: bronze Chanukah Gelt, "100 Pruta" coin, 1949; size: 28.5mm; weight: 7.9g. Design is virtually identical to the actual Israeli period piece: on obverse the additional legend reads "Chanukkah Gelt - R.S.K.S.". This was a token issued by the Rabbi Solomon Kluger School as a gift to students, to be used as play-money in games using the Chanukka 'dreidel'. The school is an Orthodox day school in Manhattan (founded 1924), named after the European talmudist and scholar, Rabbi Solomon ben Judah Aaron Kluger ( 1785-1869) who served as the Chief Rabbi of Brody, in Galicia. Ref: The Shekel, Mar-Apr 1976, p. 28-29.
