| 裏面の説明 | The central field features two crossed cornucopiae (horns of plenty), each overflowing with clusters of grapes and other fruits, their bells joined at the base by an ornamental knot. The Arabic denomination legend is inscribed in two lines across the upper field in bold calligraphic script. The numeral '10' appears in large Western digits at the lower centre, with the Latin legend PIASTRES beneath it. The rim is bordered by a continuous scalloped inner collar matching that of the obverse. |

The Banque de Syrie et du Grand-Liban operated under a French mandate concession, issuing currency for a territory whose borders had been drawn by Paris just years earlier — the "Grand Liban" of the coin's issuing authority created in 1920 by detaching predominantly Christian coastal and mountain regions from the broader Syrian interior, a partition deeply contested from the outset. By 1929, the bank's mandate was already under political strain, and the Syrian franc to which these coins were tied remained linked to the French franc through a period of considerable metropolitan monetary instability.
The .680 silver standard used here falls below the fineness of contemporary French coinage, a deliberate cost-reduction choice for peripheral mandate issues.
