Interesting fact
The 10 Qirush / Piastres 1952 coin from Lebanon made of Aluminium weighing 1.2 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in Lebanon. In 1952, Lebanon was still a young country, having gained its independence from France just four years earlier. The country was facing many challenges, including high inflation, political instability, and a large refugee population from the nearby Palestinian conflict. Despite these challenges, the Lebanese government was able to issue a new currency, the Lebanese pound, which replaced the previous French-mandate currency. The 10 Qirush / Piastres coin was part of this new currency system and was used widely in everyday transactions. It is a tangible reminder of Lebanon's resilience and determination to establish a stable economy and political system during a time of great turmoil.
