| Obverse description | The obverse presents an ornate, stylized design dominated by two interlocking heart-shaped motifs rendered in contrasting polished and frosted finishes, evoking a yin-yang composition. The field is decorated with elaborate arabesques, floral scrollwork, and the twelve zodiac symbols arranged in a band across the center. Two inset blue crystal gemstones accent the lower left and lower right of the design. The legend BANQUE DU LIBAN arcs along the upper rim in Latin characters, while the denomination 5 LIVRES and its Arabic equivalent ٥ ليرات appear centrally, with the dual-script date 2013-٢٠١٣ at the base. |
