“The Israelite community of Nagykanizsa, one of the richest and oldest in the country, officially informs us that (…) it will participate in the millennial exhibition with its synagogue artifacts and antiquities. We congratulate the great community for this patriotic decision, which will enhance the treasures of the church division in numbers and in value alike.” – wrote the Jewish journal Egyenlőség in 1896, about the preparations of the National Millennial Exhibition. This ceremonial goblet from Augsburg, decorated with portraits of Solon, Cyrus and Pythagoras, was purchased and engraved by the Jewish community of Nagykanizsa in 1803.
