Banque du Liban has issued gold bullion pieces periodically since the 1990s, largely as a vehicle for domestic and diaspora investment rather than collector circulation.

The .9999 fineness places this piece at four-nines purity, a standard Lebanon adopted in line with international bullion benchmarks to ensure compatibility with global spot markets.
