10 Līrāt / Livres AUB - Main Gate

The American University of Beirut's main gate on Bliss Street has stood since the campus was established in 1866 — originally as the Syrian Protestant College — making it one of the oldest continuously operating academic institutions in the Middle East. This coin belongs to Banque du Liban's long-running commemorative series celebrating Lebanese architectural and cultural landmarks, a program that has produced some of the heaviest silver issues in the region's modern numismatic output.

At 155.5 grams of .999 silver, these pieces were struck for collector cabinets, not pockets.
