| Obverse description | The obverse presents a detailed depiction of the Lee Observatory telescope mechanism at the American University of Beirut, rendered in high relief against a hatched and mirror-polished field. The mechanical assembly — comprising the telescope tube, equatorial mount, gear wheel, and drive mechanism — occupies the central field, evoking 19th-century astronomical instrumentation. To the right, a panel bearing the Lebanese cedar tree symbol is set within a grid design, accompanied by the denomination in Arabic and Latin scripts and the issuer's name. The legend BANQUE DU LIBAN arcs along the right border, with the date 2016 below. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |
