Comment
Essai of KM#30Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Līrah / Livre (Essai) 1980 from Lebanon made of Nickel weighing 8g is that it features a unique design that was not ultimately adopted as the official currency of Lebanon. The coin features a portrait of a Lebanese cedar tree on one side and a stylized image of a phoenix rising from the ashes on the other, symbolizing the country's resilience and determination to rebuild after years of conflict. Despite not being widely circulated, this coin remains a sought-after collector's item for numismatists interested in rare and unusual currency.
