Obverse description	Central device featuring a Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani), the national emblem, rendered in high relief with spreading branches and a broad, layered canopy rising from a naturalistic trunk. The Arabic legend دولة لبنان الكَبير arcs across the upper field, while the French legend ETAT DU GRAND LIBAN curves along the lower periphery, both inscriptions forming a continuous bilingual border around the central motif. The design reflects the French Mandate-era neoclassical engraving style associated with the Monnaie de Paris.
