| Obverse description | Annular coin with a central circular perforation. The French state name SYRIE arcs across the upper field in bold raised Latin letters, flanked on the left by the date 19 and on the right by 40 C, with the Arabic equivalent سورية rendered in raised script along the lower arc. The design is minimal and utilitarian, consistent with wartime emergency coinage practice, with all legends arranged to follow the coin's circular form around the central hole. |
