| Reverse description | Central oval cartouche displays the denomination in Arabic script above the numeral '50' and the legend '50 PIASTRES' in Latin characters below. Flanking the cartouche are symmetrical decorative foliate and arabesque ornaments in high relief. The lower arc bears a curved banner inscribed 'ETAT DE SYRIE' in Latin letters, with the word 'ESSAI' appearing discreetly to the right of the banner, confirming the trial strike status. The overall design reflects the Franco-Syrian Mandate aesthetic, combining Islamic decorative motifs with French numismatic conventions. |
