A large unprinted oval vignette occupies the left-centre, flanked by Arabic inscriptions giving the denomination 'لیرة واحدة' (One Livre), the issuing bank name, and the date 'بيروت في أول شباط ١٩٣٩' (Beirut, 1 February 1939). Two manuscript signatures appear below the central text block, with serial number and series references printed at the corners. |

The Banque de Syrie et du Grand-Liban was already an institution living on borrowed time when this note was issued — France's League of Nations mandate over Syria and Lebanon was under increasing political pressure, and the bank's privilege to issue currency would eventually be restructured after the war. Clément Serveau was a prolific designer for French colonial currency of this period, his work appearing across multiple issuing authorities with the Banque de France handling production.
The engraving credit to Marguerite Dreyfus — who signed her work as "Rita" — is worth noting. She was among a small number of women working in intaglio engraving at the Banque de France during this period, a profession that was almost entirely male-dominated.
