    Happy Greetings..
    This Lebanese coin of 1\2 piastre is listed in the Krause catalog under KM # 11. It is supposed to be made of brass, but mine is made of Aluminum ( as shown in the attached photo). The coin has a medal rotation. Could it be an off- metal strike? It is from the Republic of Lebanon. Please Help. Thanks.

    Greetings.
    I just learned that this coin was struck during the second World War, and had been considered a an emergency coin.
