Complete 1997–1998 Syrian Banknote Series
🇸🇾 Syria Set of 5 Banknotes UNC – 50 to 1,000 Pounds
Collectors building a Syrian paper money collection often need to locate
several separate denominations before completing one connected issue
sequence. This Syria set of 5 banknotes UNC brings
together the complete denomination range from
50 to 1,000 Syrian Pounds from the coordinated
1997–1998 series.
The set includes Pick 107, 108, 109, 110 and 111,
creating an uninterrupted catalogue run across five different values.
Each note is supplied in UNC (Uncirculated) condition
and occupies a clearly defined position within the series.
Rather than functioning as a random assortment, the five-note group offers
a structured survey of one Syrian design family. Together, the notes
combine archaeological sites, architecture, transportation, agriculture,
industry and public infrastructure within a consistent Central Bank of
Syria issue format.
This product is suitable for collectors filling the complete
Pick 107–111 sequence, replacing circulated examples, comparing changes
in denomination and paper size, or adding a ready-organized Syrian series
to a Middle Eastern banknote collection.

🧭 A Complete Design Survey of One Syrian Series
The defining collector feature of this product is not simply the number
of notes. All five values belong to one connected catalogue sequence,
allowing the set to be studied as a complete visual and denomination
survey rather than as five unrelated Syrian banknotes.
As the values rise from 50 to 1,000 Pounds, the series moves through
several categories of imagery. Ancient cities and monuments appear beside
railways, dams, factories, agriculture and the petroleum sector. This
creates a practical way to compare how one banknote family presents
different subjects while maintaining a recognizable overall design
identity.
For a newer collector, the set establishes five consecutive catalogue
positions in one purchase. For an advanced collector, it provides a basis
for studying signatures, prefixes, watermark placement, dimensions and
sub-varieties within the same issue family.
Dealers can also catalogue the notes as one complete Pick 107–111 group
rather than mixing them with later Syrian designs that use different
dimensions, motifs and security arrangements.

🖼️ Design Themes Across the Series
Viewed together, the five banknotes provide more information than any
single denomination can show. Their designs can be organized into several
connected collector categories.
Archaeological Sites
Aleppo · Bosra · Palmyra
The Citadel of Aleppo, Bosra theatre and Palmyra ruins create three
separate visual reference points for identifying the lower and
middle denominations.
Architecture and Monuments
Mosques · Memorials · Public Buildings
Religious architecture, monuments and institutional buildings are
distributed across the series rather than concentrated on one note.
Transport and Infrastructure
Railway · Dam · Stadium · Port
Railway equipment, hydroelectric projects, public facilities and
maritime transport provide issue-specific identifiers on several
reverse designs.
Agriculture and Production
Textiles · Irrigation · Harvesting
Industrial and agricultural scenes distinguish the higher values and
create useful comparison points between the 200-, 500- and
1,000-Pound notes.
Portrait Subjects
Historical and Political Figures
Portrait elements appear selectively within the series and should be
matched with the surrounding architecture, denomination and reverse
design.
Connected Series Identity
Five Values · One Catalogue Run
Despite the variety of subjects, the notes retain a coordinated
design approach that helps identify them as one connected
1997–1998 banknote family.
🔢 Understanding the Pick 107–111 Catalogue Run
The five Pick references are consecutive:
107, 108, 109, 110 and 111. This uninterrupted run is
one of the strongest reasons to catalogue the product as a complete
series rather than as a mixed Syrian banknote lot.
Each reference corresponds to one denomination:
Pick 107 for 50 Pounds, Pick 108 for 100 Pounds, Pick 109 for
200 Pounds, Pick 110 for 500 Pounds and Pick 111 for 1,000 Pounds.
Collectors should still inspect signatures and prefixes because a main
Pick number may include more than one recognized variety. Unless the
product option guarantees a particular sub-variety, the supplied note
may depend on available UNC stock.
🔎 Pick 110 Variety Awareness
The 500-Pound denomination is especially useful for collectors studying
sub-varieties. Examples catalogued under the main Pick 110 reference may
differ in signature combination, prefix or other issue-level details.
Main Identification
500 Pounds · Pick 110
The Palmyra and Zenobia front design combined with the Tabqa Dam and
agricultural reverse provides the primary issue match.
Sub-Variety Check
Signature and Prefix
More detailed collectors can record the exact signature and prefix
after receiving the set instead of assuming every Pick 110 note is
identical.
Product Stock Policy
Variety May Differ
A particular sub-variety is supplied only when it is explicitly shown
or stated in the product selection. Otherwise, available UNC examples
may vary.
📐 Denomination and Format Progression
The notes should not be treated as identical sheets carrying different
numbers. Their physical formats and design proportions change across the
denomination sequence.
Comparing the notes side by side helps collectors observe changes in
width, height, border layout, portrait placement, serial positioning and
balance between the principal design and security areas.
- Arrange the notes from 50 to 1,000 Pounds
- Compare dimensions before selecting album sleeves
- Record each Pick reference separately
- Check front and reverse designs together
- Document signature and prefix varieties
- Avoid forcing different formats into one sleeve size
✨ UNC Condition Across the Complete Set
All five banknotes are offered in
UNC (Uncirculated) condition. This grade is intended for
unused notes without circulation folds, writing, stains or general
handling wear.
Paper Surfaces
Each note should remain clean and free from circulation grime,
writing, tape, mounting residue or prolonged wallet handling.
Corners and Edges
Corners should retain their defined shape, while edges should not
display the softening associated with circulation.
Original Paper Structure
The notes should not be washed, pressed, trimmed, laminated or
deliberately altered to improve their visual appearance.
Minor characteristics caused by printing, cutting, mechanical counting,
original bundling or long-term storage should be evaluated separately
from actual circulation wear.
🛡️ Printing & Security Examination
Authenticity and catalogue identification should be based on the complete
issue profile. A watermark or portrait alone is not enough when the
denomination, designs, dimensions, serial layout and security elements can
be examined together.
Watermark Examination
Inspect the applicable watermark in transmitted light without folding
or pressing the paper. Compare its position and clarity across all
five denominations.
Security Threads
Review the thread placement and visible characteristics on each note
because the arrangement may vary by denomination.
Fine-Line Printing
Examine background patterns, borders, small inscriptions and tonal
transitions for clear and consistent registration.
Serial Numbers
Check the numeral style, prefix, ink, alignment and position.
Supplied serial numbers may differ from the photographed examples.
Front-and-Back Match
Confirm that each front subject is paired with the correct reverse
design before assigning the note to a Pick position.
Complete Catalogue Match
Verify denomination, Pick number, date, design combination, signature
and security layout as one complete identification profile.

🗂️ Album Organization & Archival Storage
Arrange the five notes in ascending denomination order:
50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 Syrian Pounds. This also preserves the
consecutive Pick 107–111 catalogue sequence.
Use individual collector-safe PVC-free sleeves that provide sufficient
clearance around every edge. Because the dimensions may differ across
the set, select the sleeve size for each denomination rather than forcing
every note into one format.
Store the notes flat and away from prolonged sunlight, high humidity and
excessive heat. Do not fold, laminate, trim or attach adhesive labels
directly to the paper.
Record the denomination, Pick number, date, signature, prefix and serial
number on separate album inserts. This preserves the notes while keeping
a detailed catalogue record of the complete set.
