Reverse description Central field displays the denomination '1/2' above the word 'PIASTRE' in bold serif lettering, framed by a wreath of two olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE LIBANAISE' curves along the upper periphery in raised Latin capitals, separated from the wreath by a beaded inner border. The date '1936' appears in the lower exergue area, partially overlapping the base of the wreath. The design is executed in the restrained neoclassical style characteristic of the Monnaie de Paris under engraver Lucien Georges Bazor.
