Beschrijving voorzijde The central vignette presents a Ugaritic cuneiform clay tablet in warm ochre tones, set against a background vignette of stone-carved inscriptions, evoking the ancient alphabetic heritage of Syria. To the upper centre, the Arabic bank title مصرف سورية المركزي appears in bold calligraphic script, with two facsimile signatures and a dual date in both Hijri and Gregorian calendars below. A geometric Islamic star ornament in gold and grey guilloche occupies the left-centre area, while the denomination numeral ٥٠ appears in large intaglio print to the lower left and right margins.

Opmerkingen

Robert Kalina is best known for designing the entire euro banknote series adopted in 2002, making his involvement here an unusual assignment — a staff designer at the Oesterreichische Nationalbank producing notes for a foreign central bank through the OeBS printing arm. The arrangement was not uncommon for OeBS, which has supplied security printing services to numerous Middle Eastern states.

The 2009 issue date places the first printing just two years before the Syrian civil war began in 2011. The series remained nominally valid through 2021, though by that point the Syrian pound had lost the overwhelming majority of its exchange value through sanctions, monetary financing of the conflict, and near-total collapse of foreign reserves.
