| Opmerkingen |
By 1939, the Banque de Syrie et du Grand-Liban was operating on borrowed time. France's League of Nations mandate over Syria and Lebanon was politically contested, and war in Europe was already foreclosing any serious monetary reform. This note — one of the later printings of a design family that had been in use since the early 1920s — was printed by the Banque de France in Paris, which handled the mandate territories' currency production throughout the interwar period.
Serveau's design was engraved by Ernest Deloche, one of the Banque de France's most accomplished intaglio engravers of the period. The P#39C designation distinguishes this from earlier printings of the same face value that differ in signature combinations.
