200 Pounds No fraction in serial number

Syria's 200 Pound denomination has been printed by the Austrian state security printer OeBS throughout its modern run — an arrangement that predates the 2011 uprising but continued into the war years, raising periodic questions about the propriety of European firms supplying banknote paper and printing services to Damascus under sanctions pressure. Austria's position was that existing contracts and humanitarian carve-outs applied.

The Pick 114 series omits fractional serial numbers, distinguishing it from related issues in the same denomination range. OeBS security output for this period typically includes intaglio printing, but the listed security features here reduce to watermark only — worth noting when authenticating.
