LEBANON. 10 Piastres, 1955. PCGS MS-66 Gold Shield.
KM-22. Brassy gold and intensely lustrous, this example is fully struck for this usually weakly struck issue. The reverse is signed by engraver H. HAGE like the 1954 5 Piastres and was reportedly struck at a private mint in Lebanon. Why 2 differently designed 10 Piastres dated 1955 were struck at two different mints is inexplicable! Tied with 5 others with just 6 others graded one grade higher at (MS-67).
The Cedars Collection of Lebanese Coinage, 1924-1961.
Estimate: $60 - $100
