Lebanon's Ministry of Finance issued notes directly — bypassing the Banque du Liban, which had only been established in 1964 — during a transitional period when the new central bank was still consolidating its role as sole issuer. This 2,000 Livres denomination sits at the high end of the 1960s series and would have represented serious purchasing power in Lebanon at the time.
Pick 47A is scarce in any grade. High-denomination notes in Lebanon circulated among a narrow commercial class and were rarely returned through normal banking channels, which complicates survival rates.
