| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a two-colour scheme of blue-grey and red-brown, with an intricately engraved guilloche framework enclosing a large lion head vignette at centre within a lobed cartouche. Numeral '5' counters are set within circular guilloche panels at left and right, while floral arabesque borders frame the entire composition. The Arabic bank title البنك السوري is placed at the top, the denomination legend at lower centre, and the printer's imprint runs along the bottom edge. |
