Copper-nickel coin, 250 Livres from Lebanon featuring the Cedar of Lebanon

The 250 Livres coin was introduced by Lebanon in the late 1990s as part of the country's modern decimal currency system. The Cedar of Lebanon, featured prominently on the reverse, is the national emblem and appears on the Lebanese flag, symbolizing holiness, eternity, and peace. This particular coin was minted in 2012, during a period when Lebanon continued to produce circulating commemorative coinage. These coins appeal to collectors of Middle Eastern numismatics, world coin enthusiasts, and those interested in modern circulating coinage with national symbolism. The Cedar tree design makes it particularly attractive to collectors who focus on nature-themed or tree motifs in coinage. While not rare, these coins represent accessible examples of contemporary Lebanese currency and are valued for their cultural significance and attractive design featuring one of the world's most iconic national symbols.
