| Comments |
The Central Bank of Syria was established in 1956, which makes any attribution on this note worth examining carefully — the 1998 year alongside a print date of 30 April 1945 almost certainly reflects a catalog anomaly or a misread serial prefix rather than genuine contemporaneous data. These fields likely belong to two different notes or two different data sources merged incorrectly.
P#108 in the Syrian series dates to the mid-1990s issue, watermark security only, no metallic thread — a deliberately minimal specification for a denomination that by that point had been severely eroded by decades of inflation.
