| 背面描述 | The reverse is printed in subdued blue-green tones with a central vignette of a Middle Eastern cityscape showing a domed mosque and minaret against a mountain backdrop, rendered in intaglio. To the left, an ornate blank cartouche framed by foliate and floral scrollwork is surmounted by a lion's head; the issuing bank's name is inscribed across the top in French. Denomination panels bearing the numeral '5' appear in the lower corners, and the legend 'CINQ LIVRES' is set in letterpress along the lower margin above the redemption clause. |

| 备注 |
The Banque de Syrie et du Grand-Liban operated under French Mandate authority, and by 1939 its position was already precarious — the Mandate itself was unraveling politically, with Syrian independence negotiations stalled and regional tensions sharpening ahead of the war. Notes of this series continued circulating into the early 1940s well past the administrative upheaval of 1940–41, when Vichy control of the Levant briefly complicated the bank's standing before Free French forces took Syria in June 1941.
De La Rue printed the series in London. The suffix letter G in the Pick reference indicates a later printing within the type — earlier suffixes in the same denomination show minor plate differences.
