Front: The Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani), Lebanon's national emblem featured in the center of the country's flag and coat of arms, symbolizing holiness, eternity and peace. The cedar has been a symbol of Lebanon since ancient times, mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible, and historically prized for construction of temples and ships across the Mediterranean world.

Back: Ruins of Baalbek (ancient Heliopolis), one of the finest examples of Imperial Roman architecture and among the best preserved Roman ruins in Lebanon. The site features the temples of Jupiter, Bacchus, and Venus, built during the 1st-3rd centuries CE on earlier Phoenician foundations. Baalbek is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and represents Lebanon's rich Greco-Roman heritage.

The story

Background & history

This 1000 Livres note belongs to the modern series of Lebanese banknotes issued by Banque du Liban after the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990). The series emphasizes Lebanon's cultural heritage through architectural motifs and national symbols. The denomination was issued during a period of currency instability and inflation in Lebanon's post-war economy. The note features both French ('MILLE LIVRES') and Arabic text, reflecting Lebanon's bilingual administrative tradition.
