| Reverse description | The reverse is engraved in a single green tone and presents a panoramic view of the Citadel of Aleppo, rendered in fine intaglio line work that captures the medieval fortifications, entrance bridge, and surrounding moat. The English inscription of the issuing authority runs across the top margin, with the denomination in English at upper centre and in numeral form at lower left and right corners. The year 1963 appears at lower right, framed within a decorative guilloche border consistent with the overall design. |

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.
