Description from the seller
SYRIE (Protectorate français). Paris. 1 Piastre. 1940.
- Value: 1 Piastre.
- Year: 1940.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: دولة سورية · ETAT DE SYRIE. Reverse: غرش واحد · 1 PIASTRE 1 · 1940 · ١٩٤٠.
- Grading: MS63 (NGC).
The 1 Piastre coin, designed by Henri-Auguste Patey and minted at the Monnaie de Paris. The obverse features a crown formed by branches of oak and olive, flanked by two stars and surrounded by the name of the State of Syria in Arabic and French. The reverse shows two lion heads between olive branches, with the face value and the year expressed in both writing systems. The specimen retains defined relief, gray-silvery metallic luster and attractive fields, though with the granular texture and small marks typical of zinc, features compatible with MS63 grading. Minted during the Mandated Republic and in the early months of World War II, this issue reflects the French administration and the bilingual character of its monetary system.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to leave absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside EU that has special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
