LEBANON. Brass 1/2 Piastre, ND (1942-45). PCGS MS-65 Gold Shield.
KM-11; Lec-45. Local World War II emergency issue struck in Aleppo. Brilliant golden brassy luster is full and unbroken on this high quality survivor of a crudely made issue. The strike is strong and full, with just a touch of the usually seen double striking on the reverse. Finding an equally fine example would be a feat; finding a finer one of this crudely made issue may be impossible! PCGS has graded just 2 others at this grade level for this otherwise plentiful issue.
The Cedars Collection of Lebanese Coinage, 1924-1961.
Estimate: $200 - $300
