| Obverse description | The obverse presents a central vignette of a classical colonnade, likely referencing ancient Syrian architectural heritage, set within a frame of fine guilloche underprint work. Bilingual inscriptions in Arabic and French identify the issuing authority and denomination, with additional text elements arranged along the upper and lower margins. The overall design is executed in intaglio, characteristic of Bradbury Wilkinson production of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is organized around a central architectural or landscape vignette framed by intricate guilloche border patterns in the prevailing color scheme. Denomination numerals appear in each corner, and bilingual text in Arabic and French reinforces the note's face value. The engraving style and overall layout are consistent with Bradbury Wilkinson's mid-twentieth-century output for Middle Eastern issuing authorities. |
