| Obverse description | A tall clock tower vignette occupies the left portion in intaglio against a purple guilloche underprint, with the bold denomination DIX LIVRES at centre flanked by serial numbers. Bilingual French and Arabic text — including the redemption clause and the issue date BEYROUTH 1ER SEPTEMBRE 1939 — runs along the lower field, with two manuscript signatures of bank officials at lower centre. Corner numerals 10 appear in both Latin and Arabic-script characters, and the bank title BANQUE DE SYRIE ET DU LIBAN heads the upper margin. |
