Additional information

Syria's post-1963 coinage was issued under the Ba'athist government that took power in a military coup, and the shield design on circulating coins went through several modifications during the 1960s and 1970s reflecting shifting political alliances within the Arab nationalist movement. The "no stars" variant on this denomination distinguishes it from issues bearing stars that reference the United Arab Republic period or its political successors — a small but cataloguable die difference that makes type-collecting this series more involved than it first appears.
