1924 Lebanon 5 Piastres Syriennes Grand Liban Cedar KM#2 French Mandate Coin

1924 Lebanon 5 Piastres Syriennes coin from the État du Grand Liban / State of Greater Lebanon period under the French Mandate. This aluminum-bronze coin features the Cedar of Lebanon inside a circle, one of the most powerful symbols of Lebanese identity, with Arabic and French inscriptions reflecting the country’s layered history. The reverse reads 5 Piastres Syriennes, tying the coin to the Syrian pound currency system used in the region at the time. Struck at the Paris Mint, this is a true early Lebanese mandate-era coin — not silver, but a meaningful piece of Middle Eastern history. Reported mintage varies by catalog, approx. 1–1.8 million. Circulated condition with toning and wear. Exact coin shown.
