Interesting fact
The Pattern ½ Ghirsh / Piastre coin from Syria, which was minted in 1941 during World War II, was designed to be used as a substitute for the standard issue coins that were made of bronze. However, due to the wartime conditions, the production of these coins was limited, and only a small number of them were minted. As a result, they are now considered rare and highly sought after by collectors, making them a valuable addition to any coin collection.
