| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features a purely typographic and calligraphic design with no central effigy. The field is dominated by large, flowing Arabic script reading 'دولة سورية' (State of Syria) rendered in an ornate calligraphic style. Above the Arabic legend, the abbreviated French inscription 'ETAT' and the Arabic numeral date '١٩٢٦' appear in the upper field. Below, the Latin date '1926' and the legend 'DE SYRIE' are inscribed. The entire design is enclosed within an elaborate arabesque border of interlaced scrollwork and foliate ornament characteristic of French Mandate-era Syrian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Syria's 1926 coinage was produced under the French Mandate authority, with dies cut at the Paris Mint. Essai pieces like this one were struck as pattern submissions for official approval — a standard step in the French monetary bureaucracy before production coinage was authorized. The mandate administration was still consolidating its currency framework following the collapse of Ottoman monetary infrastructure, and Paris retained full control over what denominations would enter circulation and in what form.
Lec#22 places this among a small family of 1926 aluminium bronze essais that rarely surface outside specialist sales.
