LEBANON. 1/2 Piastre, 1934. Paris Mint. PCGS MS-62 Gold Shield.
KM-9; Lec-4. A sharply struck, lightly lustrous example with an even nickel-gray patina. Though 200,000 were produced, very few have survived in Mint State, and in fact the third-party graded population of the scarce Essai of this first year of the denomination outnumbers the 8 circulation strikes that PCGS has graded in Mint State. PCGS shows just 2 examples at this grade with only 6 finer, the finest being (MS-65).
The Cedars Collection of Lebanese Coinage, 1924-1961.
Estimate: $150 - $250
