The Banque de Syrie et du Grand-Liban was itself a French concession — a private institution operating under League of Nations Mandatory authority, with the Banque de France handling production. Clément Serveau was a prolific designer of French colonial currency in this period, and Paul Bornet's engraving work appears across multiple denominations of this series, giving the whole issue an unusually coherent visual discipline for a mandate territory.
P#22 is among the scarcer denominations of the 1925 series. The mandate's political fragility — Lebanon and Syria were administered together but already pulling in different directions — meant the issuing authority's lifespan was limited. The bank was restructured and renamed in 1939.
