Today's coin comes from Lebanon, a 50 Piastres Silver piece from 1952, or 50 Qirshā.
What I really like about this one is that there are no kings or queens or other faggots!
Instead, the front side has a cedar tree (a main feature of Lebanon's flag too) and reads
الجمهؤريَّة اللبنانيَّة REPUBLIQUE LIBANAISE 1952·١٩٥٢
for
Lebanese Republic Lebanese Republic 1952·1952
On the other, we got two oak branches with fruits and the denomination, 50 Piastres / 50 Qirshā.
Pretty much the size of a euro coin:
There's not much silver in this piece, 5 g of 0.600 silver or 3 grams of silver. With today's spot price that translates to 2.16 $.
Not great, but imo a lovely looking piece! Plus, I like the weird letters 😂
