| Additional information |
Syria's short-lived union with Egypt as the United Arab Republic lasted from 1958 to 1961, and this 1960 issue was struck during that political experiment — yet the two-star shield device on this coin specifically distinguished Syrian-region coinage from its Egyptian counterpart. When the union collapsed in September 1961 following a Syrian military coup, these coins were rapidly withdrawn and redesigned, making the entire UAR Syrian series a compressed three-year window.
