The Banque de Syrie et du Grand-Liban was itself a French concession instrument — a private institution operating under Mandate authority, with the Banque de France handling production. Clément Serveau was a prolific designer of French colonial note series in this period, and Paul Bornet's engraving work appears across multiple Banque de France commissions of the 1920s; the pairing was reliable, not exceptional.
What matters more is the political moment: 1925 was the year the Great Syrian Revolt erupted against French Mandate rule, and these notes entered circulation into that instability. The Syrian pound had only just been introduced the prior year, replacing the Egyptian pound as the official unit.
