Lebanon Banque de Syrie et du Liban 100 Livres 1945 Pick 53s Specimen PCGS Gold Shield Uncirculated 62. The famous "Magic Carpet" 100 Livres of 1945 is one of the most famous banknotes of the 20th Century. The Bank of France pulled out all the stops and created a true stunner. The design in a macro sense is grand, with a flurry of designs at front and cedar tree with mountain backdrop on the back. The micro details are impressive as well, illustrating the skilled artwork that is required to create such a banknote. Just one vertical Specimen overprint is mentioned for accuracy. Rare in any format, rare in any grade, and an incredibly popular type. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/lebanon-banque-de-syrie-et-du-liban-100-livres-1945-pick-53s-specimen-pcgs-gold-shield-uncirculated-62/a/4036-25641.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchivesCurrency-WorldPaperMoney-4036-04212022 HID08706262019 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
