| Obverse description | The obverse is printed primarily in rose and green tones on a pale guilloche underprint, with Arabic text occupying the right-hand column and French legends to the left. The central field carries the denomination "مئة ليرة" (One Hundred Livres) within an ornate cartouche, flanked by decorative floral and geometric border panels in an Orientalist style. The date "في ١٥ نيسان ١٩٢٥" (15 April 1925) and the issuer's name in Arabic appear to the upper left, with two manuscript signatures below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a panoramic vignette of a Middle Eastern cityscape — likely Beirut or Damascus — rendered in blue-grey intaglio, with minarets and domed buildings set against an open sky. Two large decorative urns with stylized smoke motifs anchor the lower left and right corners, framing a central blank oval reserve intended for the serial number or stamp. The inscriptions "GRAND-LIBAN" and "BANQUE DE SYRIE ET DU GRAND-LIBAN" appear at the top, with "CENT LIVRES" in bold letterpress across the upper centre and the denomination numeral "100" repeated at lower left and right. |
