Lebanon's 1944 issues were emergency printings produced under severely constrained wartime conditions. The Mouammar Press in Aleppo was not a specialist security printer — its engagement here reflects the near-impossibility of commissioning work from European banknote houses during the occupation years, when France itself was only just liberated.
The choice of an Aleppan commercial printer left these notes notably vulnerable to counterfeiting, and the series is generally considered among the least technically sophisticated issues in Lebanese monetary history. Survival in any presentable condition is complicated by the thin wartime paper stock used throughout the run.
