Lebanon 10 piastres Cedar Tree KM-E12 ESSAI TRIAL SP68 PCGS NiBrass coin 1972

Lebanon 10 Piastres 1972 KM-E12 is a fascinating ESSAI trial coin, struck in nickel-brass and preserved in exceptional PCGS SP68 condition. Created as an experimental issue rather than a standard circulation piece, it offers special appeal to collectors of Lebanese patterns and trial coinage. The obverse features the majestic Lebanese cedar tree, the country’s enduring national symbol, above Arabic lettering, the ESSAI designation and dual 1972 date. Banque du Liban appears along the lower edge, while a finely beaded border frames the design. The reverse presents the 10 Piastres denomination in Arabic and Latin characters, surrounded by an elegant symmetrical wreath of leafy branches tied at the base, again enclosed by a beaded rim. The cedar has represented Lebanon for centuries and remains closely associated with the country’s history, landscape and national identity. Its golden-toned nickel-brass surface, scarce ESSAI status, KM-E12 attribution and superb SP68 certification make this an especially desirable piece for specialists in patterns, Middle Eastern numismatics and high-grade Lebanese coins.
