| Comments |
The Banque du Liban was established only in 1964, replacing the Banque de Syrie et du Liban as Lebanon's central bank and issuing authority — this note belongs to the inaugural series. Thomas De La Rue had a long relationship with Lebanese currency production stretching back through the mandate period, so the continuity of printer across the political transition was deliberate, not incidental.
The series ran through 1988, bracketing the entire arc of the Lebanese Civil War. Notes issued late in the series circulated in an economy fractured by hyperinflation; by the late 1980s, 100 Livres had lost most of its practical purchasing value.
