Comment
Cedar tree (Binomial Name: Cedrus libani) appears both on the Lebanon National Flag & Coat of ArmsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1952 Lebanese 50 Qirshā/Piastres coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Lebanon. The coin was issued in the year 1952, which was just a few years after Lebanon gained its independence from France in 1946. At the time, the country was still in the process of establishing its government and economy, and the coin reflects this period of transition. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Lebanon and the Middle East.
