Anmerkungen

The 1942 Lebanese 5 Piastres was a wartime expedient, produced by the Survey of Egypt in Cairo because normal printing channels through France had been severed by the German occupation. Lebanon at the time was technically under Vichy authority until the Allied invasion of June 1941, after which the Free French took administrative control — this note belongs to the transitional period when the monetary apparatus was being reconstructed under difficult circumstances.

The Survey of Egypt was a cartographic and printing bureau, not a specialist banknote printer. Its involvement here reflects the improvised nature of currency supply across the Levant during the war years.
