Syria's shift to a hologram security feature on this issue was a direct response to widespread counterfeiting of smaller-denomination coinage that had plagued the country through the 1990s. The Central Bank's decision to apply the technology to a mid-denomination circulation coin — rather than reserve it for high-value notes — was unusual for the region at the time.
