Syria's P#94 series spans a full decade, bridging the aftermath of the short-lived United Arab Republic — dissolved in 1961 after Syria's military-backed secession from Egypt — and the early years of Ba'athist consolidation under Hafez al-Assad. The Central Bank itself was only established in 1956, making these among the relatively early issues under that institution.
The date range reflects a practice of extended use rather than annual reissues — individual notes within the series can vary in signature combinations, with at least three distinct minister/governor pairings documented across the run.
