LEBANON. 25 Piastres, 1929. Paris Mint. PCGS MS-65 Gold Shield.
KM-7; Lec-35. Type with no privy marks. Glittering mint luster is joined by champagne-silver toning and dappled blue-gray toning at the peripheries and borders of the devices and legends. An incredible, high-grade survival in this high denomination silver coin, most of which circulated extensively or were converted into decorative objects like spoons. Just one other example has been graded MS-65 by PCGS, without any finer examples recorded. A lovely PCGS graded MS-63 specimen brought $1680 in our June 2021 Collectors Choice Online auction.
The Cedars Collection of Lebanese Coinage, 1924-1961.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
