Syria shifted its higher-denomination printing contracts to Goznak in Moscow during the mid-2000s, a move that reflected tightening political and economic alignment with Russia well before the civil war made that relationship explicit. Goznak had printed currency for Soviet-allied states throughout the Cold War and retained those relationships into the post-Soviet period.
The P#113 series ran through more than a decade of extraordinary instability — the Syrian pound lost over 90% of its value against the dollar between 2011 and 2021, meaning notes from the later years of this issue circulated in an economy where 100 pounds had become essentially negligible in purchasing power.
