50 000 Livres

Harrison and Sons printed Lebanese currency for decades, a relationship that outlasted the firm's absorption into De La Rue in 1997 — meaning notes bearing the Harrison imprint after that date were technically produced under De La Rue ownership, even if the name on the plate hadn't changed. This 2004 issue falls into that ambiguous period.

The 50,000 Livres denomination was introduced as the Lebanese pound recovered purchasing power slowly after the catastrophic hyperinflation of the civil war years, when the currency had lost roughly 90% of its value against the dollar. By 2004, dollarization remained so entrenched that high-denomination pound notes were often treated as near-novelties in daily commerce.
