10 Syrian Pounds

Syria's shift to polymer for this denomination is a notable logistical decision for a country that has spent over a decade under severe international sanctions and in the midst of civil war. Sourcing polymer substrate typically requires contracts with either De La Rue, Canadian Bank Note Company, or Note Printing Australia — none straightforward partners given Syria's sanctions exposure. How the Central Bank of Syria arranged production for this 2025 issue remains publicly unclear.

Pick 119 represents one of the first confirmed polymer issues in the modern Syrian series, making it a point of interest for specialists tracking the currency's post-conflict reconstruction phase.
