Banque du Liban has issued several large-format silver commemoratives over the years, though the specific occasion behind this 2015 piece isn't documented in standard catalogues with enough precision to state confidently without risk of error. What is certain: at 155.50 grams of .925 silver, this is a five-troy-ounce issue — a weight denomination used internationally for prestige bullion-adjacent pieces intended far more for cabinet storage than any payment system. Lebanon's pound has been pegged to the US dollar at 1,507.5 since 1997, which makes a 25-livre face value purely nominal.
