The Banque de Syrie was a French-mandated institution, established under the authority granted to France by the League of Nations following the collapse of Ottoman rule. This 5 Piastres note dates from 1920, the same year the Mandate was formally proclaimed and French forces defeated Faysal's Arab Kingdom at the Battle of Maysalun. The piastre denominations were aimed squarely at everyday commerce in a region where Ottoman currency had only just been displaced.
Printing by Imprimerie Villeneuve in Beirut rather than a European security printer was an unusual choice — one driven by the logistical chaos of the immediate post-war period rather than any preference for local production.
