| Beschrijving keerzijde | The upper portion carries a sculptural frieze in intaglio, centred on a large lion's head in high relief set against carved acanthus foliage, closely reproducing classical architectural ornamentation. Below the frieze, a broad band of interlocking geometric guilloche borders the field, beneath which the Arabic denomination خمس وعشرون ليرة لبنانية is inscribed in bold script. An oval blank cartouche occupies the right side of the lower field, flanked by delicate floral underprint motifs. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Banque de Syrie et du Liban was a French concessionary institution — privately held, nominally independent, but tightly bound to Paris. This series was printed by the Banque de France at a moment when both Syria and Lebanon had just obtained formal independence yet still operated under a currency arrangement the French were reluctant to dissolve. The monetary agreement wasn't terminated until 1948, and notes from this series circulated into that transition period.
Marguerite Dreyfus, who signed her work "Rita," was one of the more accomplished engravers in the Banque de France's atelier during the mid-twentieth century. Beltrand came from a distinguished family of wood engravers, though his work here was in intaglio.
