| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central field features a stylized cedar tree of Lebanon set within an ornate heart-shaped cartouche divided into contrasting polished and matte sections, surrounded by elaborate arabesque floral scrollwork extending across the entire field. Two inset yellow crystal stones are embedded symmetrically within the decorative border. The denomination '5' appears prominently in the lower field, with the legend 'LIVRES' above it in Latin script, flanked by the Arabic denomination 'ليرات'. The issuer's name 'BANQUE DU LIBAN' is inscribed along the upper rim in Latin characters, while the date appears at the bottom in both Western (2013) and Eastern Arabic (٢٠١٣) numerals. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lebanon's Banque du Liban has issued a long-running zodiac series in .500 silver, and the Capricorn entry is among the later strikes in that run. The half-fine silver composition was a deliberate cost-control decision — keeping the face value nominally meaningful while producing a collectible that the Lebanese pound's chronic weakness would otherwise make economically absurd to mint in finer silver.
Lebanon's currency has been under sustained pressure since well before 2013, with the pound pegged artificially to the dollar at a rate the central bank defended through dollar borrowing rather than monetary discipline.
