Interesting fact
The 1941 Lebanese ½ Ghirsh / Piastre coin made of Zinc is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Lebanon's history. The country was under French mandate at the time, and the coin's design reflects this, featuring the French flag and the words "Lebanon" and "French Mandate" in both Arabic and French. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a piece of Lebanon's rich history.
