The Banque de Syrie was established in 1919 under French mandate authority, replacing the Ottoman Imperial Bank as the note-issuing institution for Syria and Lebanon. This 50 Piastres note belongs to the bank's inaugural series — the first paper currency issued under the new mandatory administration, circulating in a region whose Ottoman monetary infrastructure had effectively collapsed at the end of the war.
Bradbury Wilkinson's involvement was a deliberate choice: the New Malden firm had a well-established relationship with French colonial and semi-colonial banking institutions. The piastre denominations in this series were primarily aimed at small transactions in a market still heavily reliant on coin.
