The dating on this note requires a word of explanation: 1447 is the Hijri year, corresponding to 2025 in the Gregorian calendar. Syria has long printed dual-dated notes, and the Hijri date takes formal precedence on official instruments issued by the Central Bank.
The watermark remains the primary security feature — a notable austerity given how sophisticated Syrian note production had become before the civil war severely disrupted the country's printing infrastructure and supply chains for security paper. Whether this note was produced domestically or abroad under contract is not confirmed in available catalog data.
