| Obverse description | An aerial panoramic view of Beirut and its Mediterranean coastline forms the central vignette, rendered in fine intaglio engraving with the hillside cityscape receding into the background. The bank name in Arabic script runs along the upper guilloche border, with the denomination numeral in Arabic positioned at the upper right and lower left corners. Two signature panels occupy the lower right, flanked by ornamental guilloche rosettes against a geometric underprint throughout. |
