Front | Cuneiform Tablets from Ebla

The 50 Pounds note introduces the set with one of its most distinctive historical themes. Its front features ancient cuneiform clay tablets associated with Ebla, connecting modern Syrian paper money with the region’s early written heritage.

Arabic inscriptions and denomination markings accompany the archaeological imagery. Therefore, P#112 immediately establishes an ancient-history theme at the beginning of the denomination sequence.

Back | Al-Assad National Library

The reverse moves from antiquity to modern Damascus. It depicts the Al-Assad National Library together with a statue of Hafez al-Assad.

Consequently, the two sides create an unusual chronological contrast between ancient writing and a modern Syrian cultural institution.

Front | Historic Syrian Architecture

The 100 Pounds denomination shifts the collection toward Syria’s archaeological landscape. Architectural and historic elements distinguish this note from the ancient-writing theme used on the preceding 50 Pounds issue.

Back | Bosra & Roman Heritage

Roman-era imagery forms an important part of the reverse composition, including the celebrated Bosra archaeological heritage. As a result, this denomination introduces another historical period into the six-note set.

The transition from P#112 to P#113 is particularly useful for thematic collectors because the visual narrative moves from early writing traditions toward monumental and classical heritage.

Front | Architectural Heritage

The 200 Pounds P#114 continues the cultural progression with imagery connected to Syria’s architectural heritage. Fine engraved elements, Arabic inscriptions, and denomination markings create a balanced composition suitable for comparison with the neighboring Pick numbers.

Back | Agricultural Theme

On the reverse, the design moves toward agricultural imagery. This introduces everyday economic and productive life into a set otherwise rich in archaeological and architectural subjects.

Therefore, P#114 adds thematic variety while maintaining the visual identity of the broader Syrian banknote series.

Front Design

The 500 Pounds P#115 expands the denomination sequence while retaining the detailed visual language of the modern Syrian series. Historical and cultural elements distinguish the front from the smaller denominations.

Reverse Design

The reverse continues the Syrian heritage narrative through additional national imagery. Together, both sides make the 500 Pounds denomination an effective transition between the lower-value notes and the larger 1000 and 2000 Pounds issues.

For collectors assembling the series by Pick number, P#115 also fills the central position between P#112–114 and P#116–117.

Front | Bosra Amphitheatre

The 1000 Syrian Pounds P#116 prominently incorporates the Bosra amphitheatre, one of Syria’s best-known archaeological landmarks.

Its monumental Roman architecture gives this denomination a particularly recognizable appearance. Moreover, it provides a strong architectural counterpoint to the smaller denominations in the set.

Back | Roman Grape Harvest Mosaic

The reverse depicts a Roman grape harvest mosaic from As-Suwayda. Instead of repeating monumental architecture, the design highlights ancient decorative art and everyday agricultural activity preserved through archaeology.

Together, the amphitheatre and mosaic make P#116 especially relevant to collectors interested in Roman Syria.

Front | Bashar al-Assad Portrait

At the upper end of this six-note group, the 2000 Syrian Pounds P#117 introduces a substantially different visual direction. Its front features a portrait of Bashar al-Assad together with Arabic inscriptions and denomination details.

Accordingly, the final note moves the set away from predominantly archaeological imagery and toward contemporary Syrian history.

Back | Syrian Institutional Imagery

The reverse uses modern Syrian imagery rather than the ancient monuments and archaeological subjects seen on several preceding denominations.

As a result, P#117 provides a clear visual endpoint to the set: collectors move from the ancient cuneiform heritage represented on P#112 through several layers of Syrian history before reaching a contemporary 2000 Pounds design.

One of the strongest features of this set is the variety of subjects represented across only six banknotes. The designs do not simply repeat portraits or denomination patterns.

Instead, collectors encounter ancient writing, archaeology, Roman heritage, architecture, agriculture, cultural institutions, and contemporary Syrian imagery. Consequently, viewing the six notes together provides much more context than examining any one denomination independently.

The consecutive Pick sequence from P#112 through P#117 also gives the group a clear cataloguing structure.

Why Collect Consecutive Pick Numbers?

Individual banknotes are useful when filling specific album gaps. However, consecutive Pick numbers reveal how a currency series develops from one denomination to the next.

Here, P#112 through P#117 allow collectors to compare changing sizes, denominations, artwork, security concepts, and historical subjects within a related Syrian series.

Therefore, the set works particularly well for collectors who prefer structured series collecting rather than isolated examples.

Why Choose the Six-Note Set Instead of Singles?

Buying the denominations individually can work when only one specific note is required. By comparison, this set creates an immediate 50 to 2000 Pounds sequence in one purchase.

Moreover, all six examples are supplied in UNC condition. This helps maintain consistent presentation when the notes are displayed together inside an album.

This group fits naturally into a Syrian or broader Middle Eastern banknote collection. New collectors can use it as a ready-made Syrian series section, while established collectors can use it to fill several consecutive denomination spaces at once.

It also creates a natural foundation for expansion. After completing the 50–2000 Pounds sequence, collectors can continue upward with the later 5000 Syrian Pounds denomination.

• Six denominations: 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, and 2000 Syrian Pounds.
• Consecutive references: Covers Pick P#112 through P#117.
• UNC condition: All six banknotes are supplied uncirculated.
• Design diversity: Ancient, Roman, architectural, agricultural, and contemporary themes appear across the group.

Six consecutive Pick numbers make this set more than a group of Syrian banknotes: together, P#112–P#117 create an organized visual journey from ancient Syrian heritage to contemporary currency design.
