Syria contracted OeBS in Vienna for this series — an unusual choice given that Syrian banknote production had historically leaned toward Soviet-bloc and Eastern European printers during the Ba'ath decades. By 2009, the Central Bank was gradually modernizing its security printing relationships, though this denomination retained a relatively modest security specification, with watermark listed as the primary feature — thin coverage for a 100-pound note by contemporary standards.
The 100-pound denomination had by this point lost significant purchasing power to inflation, limiting its practical role in daily commerce.
