| Obverse description | Central device features a six-pointed star superimposed on an elaborate floral rosette design within a beaded inner circle. The legend 'ETAT DE SYRIE' (State of Syria) in Arabic script appears above, with the date rendered in both Western (Arabic-Indic) and Eastern Arabic numerals flanking the central motif below. The overall composition reflects the Art Deco influenced engraving style characteristic of Monnaie de Paris issues of the French Mandate period. |

| Reverse description | Denomination inscribed within a central circle, expressed in Eastern Arabic numerals ('٢٥') above and '25 PIASTRES' in Latin characters below, separated by a decorative dividing line. The outer legend reads 'ETAT DE SYRIE' in Latin script and 'دولة سورية' in Arabic script, distributed around the circumference within a beaded border. The clean, symmetrical composition is typical of the restrained Art Deco style employed by the Monnaie de Paris for French Mandate coinage. |
