| Obverse description | Plain field bearing large, boldly incuse Latin characters arranged around the coin's periphery and centre, with no figurative device. The denomination numeral '2 1/2' is prominently displayed in the central field in large raised figures. The legend 'LIBAN' arcs across the upper portion of the coin and '2 1/2 PIASTRES' completes the inscription in the lower field, all rendered in a rudimentary, wartime emergency typographic style characteristic of hastily produced occupation-era coinage. |
