| Obverse description | Central field features a finely rendered Cedar of Lebanon in high relief, the national emblem, enclosed within a raised inner circle. The date appears in both Western Arabic numerals (1924) and Eastern Arabic-Indic numerals (١٩٢٤) flanking the base of the cedar tree within the circle. A bilingual legend encircles the design between the inner circle and the reeded border, reading 'ETAT DU GRAND LIBAN' in Latin script and 'دولة لبنان الكبير' in Arabic script. The overall composition reflects the French Mandate period artistic style, with a scalloped or reeded outer rim framing the entire design. |
