| Additional information |
The Banque du Liban has issued a long-running commemorative series celebrating Lebanese cultural and natural heritage, and this piece falls within that program. Half-silver at .500 fineness is an unusual choice for a modern commemorative — most central banks issue collectibles at .925 or .999 — suggesting a cost-conscious production decision rather than a prestige minting.
KM#53 is not widely documented in specialist literature, and mintage figures for Lebanese commemoratives from this period are rarely disclosed by the issuing authority.
