| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The État du Grand Liban was proclaimed by French General Gouraud in September 1920, carved out of the former Ottoman province of Syria under the French Mandate. This 1924 essai — a trial strike submitted for approval rather than circulation — precedes the regular issue and was produced at the Paris Mint as part of the process of establishing a currency infrastructure for the newly created state. The denomination itself reflects the hybrid monetary identity of the period: "girush" rooted in Ottoman usage, piastres syriennes the French administrative overlay.
