| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by Arabic calligraphic text reading 'الجمهورية السورية' across the upper field, set over an intricate guilloche underprint that fills the note. An oval vignette at right presents a mosque with twin minarets mirrored in water against a landscape background, rendered in fine intaglio line work. The denomination in Arabic numerals and script, a manuscript signature, and the date and printer's imprint appear along the lower border. |
