Syria, part of the Ottoman Empire since 1516, broke free as part of the Arab Revolt during World War One but fell under French domination in 1920. French control, never firm, collapsed during World War Two and Syria obtained independence in 1944. The country has been ruled by various dictators since. The Euphrates dam depicted herein also appeared on a twenty-five, ten and fifty piastres and one pound of the same year.
Recorded mintage: 2,000,000.
