| Obverse description | At centre, a bold relief depiction of the Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani), the national symbol, with a wide-spreading canopy and prominently gnarled trunk rendered in fine detail. The word ESSAI appears in the lower field beneath the tree. Surrounding the central device, the Arabic legend maSraf Lubnan arcs across the upper field, while the bilingual issuer legend BANQUE DU LIBAN flanks the lower left and right, each separated by a six-pointed star. The date appears at the bottom in both Western (1980) and Eastern Arabic (١٩٨٠) numerals, separated by a dot. The entire design is contained within a beaded border. |
