| Additional information |
Banque du Liban introduced this nickel composition as a cost-reduction measure, replacing the earlier bimetallic version as Lebanon was still working through the long fiscal hangover of the civil war — a conflict that had effectively destroyed the Lebanese pound's purchasing power and required a complete redenomination framework in the 1990s. By 2003, 100 livres represented a fraction of what it once bought; the coin's continued production was largely practical, covering small transaction rounding rather than any meaningful purchasing tier.
