LEBANON. 5 Piastres, 1936. Paris Mint. PCGS MS-66+ Gold Shield. KM-5.2; Lec-30. Golden luster is of an intensity not usually encountered on these aluminum-bronze issues, the peripheries awash in rich sunset orange on both sides. In our experience the 1936 is the most commonly available of the 5 Piastres in Mint State, but this glorious Gem is not only the finest certified of the date but also of the entire type! The Cedars Collection of Lebanese Coinage, 1924-1961.
