| Additional information |
Issued as part of Banque du Liban's ongoing zodiac series, which has produced collector pieces across multiple years with each sign struck in .500 silver at a relatively modest fineness for a commemorative issue. Lebanon has used these small-run collector coins partly to generate foreign exchange revenue — a quiet but consistent practice among central banks managing chronic fiscal pressure.
KM#50 places this among the mid-series strikes. The .500 fineness is lower than most European commemorative silver of the period, a cost-driven choice that keeps face value credible against metal content.
