Essai of KM#69Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Qirsh / Piastres (Essai) 1926 from Syria, made of Aluminium bronze and weighing 2g, is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted as a trial or pattern coin, and only a small number of samples were produced. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
