Lebanon 5 piastres Cedar Tree KM-E11 ESSAI TRIAL SP68 PCGS NiBrass coin 1972

Lebanon 5 Piastres 1972 KM-E11 Essai is an unusual trial issue combining Lebanese national symbolism with the appeal of a high-grade specimen coin. Struck in nickel-brass and certified PCGS SP68, this Essai displays exceptionally sharp details and attractive golden surfaces. One side centers on the famous Cedar of Lebanon, the country’s enduring national emblem, with the date 1972 beneath and Banque du Liban along the lower border. The cedar has represented Lebanon for centuries and remains closely associated with the nation’s history and identity. The opposite side presents the 5 Piastres denomination in a clean central composition framed by two symmetrical laurel branches, with additional denomination text above and a finely beaded border around the rim. Identified by PCGS as KM-E11 Essai, this trial striking is especially appealing to collectors of Lebanese patterns, specimen issues, Middle Eastern coinage and scarce varieties. A superb SP68 example with strong visual character and historical interest.
