| Opmerkingen |
1958 sits at a peculiar juncture in Syrian monetary history: the Central Bank of Syria had been established only in 1956, and by February 1958 the country had merged with Egypt to form the United Arab Republic, rendering newly issued Syrian notes politically awkward almost immediately. This series continued in circulation during the union period regardless, as the currency unification between the two countries was never fully completed before the UAR collapsed in 1961.
Enschedé's involvement reflects the post-independence preference among newly sovereign Arab states for established European security printers over British alternatives — a political as much as a technical choice.
