| Additional information |
Grand Liban was proclaimed by French General Henri Gouraud on September 1, 1920, carved from Greater Syria after the League of Nations awarded France its mandate over the Levant. The expanded borders — absorbing Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon, and the Bekaa Valley — were deliberately drawn to make the territory economically viable, but they also guaranteed sectarian complexity that would outlast the mandate by a century.
Niue's role here is purely fiduciary; the island issues legal tender on behalf of third-party programs routinely. This piece belongs to a collector series commemorating historical states rather than any Lebanese governmental initiative.
