100 Livres

The Banque de Syrie et du Grand-Liban was a French Mandate institution — a concessionary bank with French capital operating under League of Nations-supervised authority. By 1935, the political ground was already shifting: Syrian nationalists were pushing hard against the Mandate, and the Franco-Syrian Treaty negotiations would collapse just a year later. Notes of this denomination were never high-volume circulation pieces; the 100 Livres was a commercial and interbank instrument, not something passing through ordinary hands.

Bradbury Wilkinson's engraved work for Mandate-era Syrian currency is generally of high quality, and the plates were reused across multiple date variants — the "F" suffix in the Pick reference denotes one of several signature and date progressions within what is essentially the same printed design.
