LEBANON. Piastre, 1933. Paris Mint. PCGS MS-67+ Gold Shield.
KM-3; Lec-12. Subtle gold and clear blue toning speak to the originality of this coin's high grade surfaces. This is not only the sole finest graded of the 1933 issue, but it is the single finest graded of the entire denomination, a major feat inasmuch as the more common 1936 issue boasts a mintage over 4 times as high and has a much higher survival rate in Mint State. Here is a Registry Set worthy coin.
The Cedars Collection of Lebanese Coinage, 1924-1961.
Estimate: $500 - $700
