1954 Lebanon 5 Piastres Minor Lamination Error - Minor Lamination Error Reverse of 1954 Lebanon 5 Piastres

This listing is for a Minor Lamination Error Reverse of 1954 Lebanon 5 Piastres. The obverse depicts A cedar tree, the symbol of Lebanon, with date below. The country name is above in Arabic and below in French. The reverse is a wreath with value in Arabic above and in French below.  Lamination errors are planchet errors in which the surface of a coin cracks and flakes.  It is generally believed that lamination errors are caused by contaminants in the alloy that cause the metal to separate along the horizontal plane.   Lamination errors can develop before or after the strike. The term “lamination error” is grammatically incorrect as the metal is actually delaminating.  While “delamination error” would be the proper term, we’re stuck with the terminology we’ve inherited from previous researchers. Great Find!!!
