The Banque de Syrie et du Grand-Liban was a French concessionary institution, effectively a branch instrument of French Mandate financial policy in the Levant. Its notes were printed by the Banque de France in Paris and designed to project authority in a territory still legally undefined — the "Grand Liban" proclaimed in 1920 had no internationally recognized permanent borders until the 1926 Lebanese constitution formalized the entity.

Clément Serveau was a respected French illustrator and poster artist whose work for the Banque de France series brought a distinctly metropolitan aesthetic to colonial currency. Deloche's engraving is crisp and detailed, consistent with the high standard the Banque de France maintained for its commissioned intaglio work during this period.

The 1925–1930 date range spans the introduction of the Syrian pound as the Mandate's official monetary unit, replacing the Egyptian pound that had been used as a temporary medium after the war.
