The Pattern 1 Ghirsh / Piastre (Essai) 1925 from Lebanon, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 4.9g, is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted as a trial coin, and only a few samples were produced, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
