| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in green and red tones on a finely guilloche-patterned ground, with the bank name in Arabic script across the upper central panel and the denomination 'خمسة وعشرون ليرة' in large Arabic lettering at centre. Numeral '25' appears in cartouches at lower left and lower right flanking a central white void reserved for a vignette, while elaborate floral and geometric border ornaments frame all four sides. The note bears two manuscript signatures at lower left and zero serial numbers (000 / 00000000), consistent with its trial or specimen status. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is rendered in warm polychrome tones centred on a vignette of a historic fortress or citadel set against a pale sky, framed by two tall arched panels filled with intricate arabesque floral motifs in the Art Nouveau manner. The inscription 'BANQUE DE SYRIE ET DU GRAND-LIBAN' runs across the upper register beneath the cartouche 'GRAND-LIBAN', with the bold legend 'Vingt Cinq Livres' below, and a redemption clause in smaller French text beneath. Numeral '25' appears in circular cartouches at upper left and upper right, while a central white void mirrors the obverse, confirming the trial nature of the note. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Banque de Syrie et du Grand-Liban was a French concession bank — its mandate, granted to a private institution rather than a state, was already a source of political friction by the mid-1930s. Syrian nationalist pressure was mounting steadily, and the Franco-Syrian Treaty negotiations of 1936 would soon throw the bank's future into question. Notes from 1935 were issued into an increasingly unstable environment.
E. Deloche is credited as engraver, not printer — the actual press house behind the P#12C series is a separate matter. Deloche's name in the margin reflects plate credit, a French practice that persisted well into the mandate-era issues.
