Syria 2000 Pound UNC Banknotes (2015-2021) | Lot of 10 Notes

Obverse | Damascus Architecture & Presidential Portrait

Each banknote presents the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus as a central architectural subject. Its inclusion gives the denomination an immediately recognizable Syrian landmark and a strong visual connection to Damascus.

Alongside the mosque, the right portion of the design carries a portrait of Bashar al-Assad, who was president during the period represented by this banknote series. Arabic inscriptions, denomination markings, and serial information complete the composition.

Because the same principal design appears across all ten pieces, collectors can concentrate on smaller differences between individual examples rather than comparing unrelated denominations.

Reverse | People’s Council Building

The reverse presents a different aspect of Damascus through the People’s Council of Syria building. Accordingly, the banknote moves from religious architecture and portraiture on the front to governmental architecture on the back.

English inscriptions identify the Central Bank of Syria and the Two Thousand Syrian Pounds denomination. Together, both sides create a design built around recognizable institutions and architecture associated with Syria during the period.

• Coat of Arms Watermark: Visible when the banknote is examined using transmitted light.
• Electrotype 2000: Furthermore, the denomination forms part of the watermark security arrangement.
• Security Thread: Incorporated into the paper as another authentication feature.
• Moving CBS Effect: An optical effect becomes visible when the relevant feature is tilted.
• Variable Appearance: In addition, selected denomination elements change visually according to the viewing angle.
• Dual Numerals: Serial information incorporates both Eastern Arabic and Western numeral forms.

Ten matching banknotes create a different collecting format from either a single example or a mixed-denomination set. Instead of showing the progression between face values, this lot allows closer examination of one specific Syrian type.

For instance, collectors can arrange the notes according to serial number, prefix, date, or signature when variations are available. Moreover, the larger quantity is useful for collectors who maintain reference groups or exchange duplicate examples with other hobbyists.

As a result, the ten-note format offers substantially more flexibility than a single note while retaining a clear P#117 collecting theme.

P#117 is known with dated varieties from 2015, 2018, and 2021. Consequently, a ten-note group can potentially show more individual variation than a smaller purchase.

However, a specific mixture of dates is not guaranteed unless explicitly shown as such in the product selection. Serial numbers, prefixes, and signatures can also vary from the photographs.

Therefore, the defining characteristics of this product are the denomination, P#117 type, quantity of ten, and UNC condition rather than a guaranteed serial or date sequence.

This ten-note lot works particularly well as a specialized section within a Syrian currency collection. Collectors can place the group together after their primary denomination sequence or maintain it separately as a P#117 reference lot.

Meanwhile, those building a broader Middle Eastern collection can use one or more examples in different album arrangements while retaining the remainder as a matching Syrian group.

• Ten banknotes: A substantial group centered on one Syrian denomination.
• 20,000 Pounds total: Ten individual 2,000-pound P#117 notes.
• UNC presentation: Suitable for clean album organization and collector storage.
• Consistent design: All notes feature the Umayyad Mosque, Bashar al-Assad, and People’s Council themes.
• Comparison potential: Individual dates, prefixes, signatures, or serial numbers may vary.
• Specialized format: Designed for collectors who prefer denomination-focused lots rather than mixed sets.

• Separate protection: Place every note inside its own acid-free, PVC-free sleeve.
• Organize systematically: For example, sort the group by date, prefix, or serial number.
• Avoid pressure: Do not tightly compress the ten banknotes during long-term storage.
• Maintain UNC condition: Finally, protect the notes from moisture, sunlight, folding, and unnecessary handling.

• Preparation: Orders are normally prepared within 1–3 business days.
• Collector Protection: The banknotes are protected carefully before shipment.
• Serial Notice: Serial numbers, prefixes, signatures, and dates may differ from the photographs.
• Combined Orders: Additionally, combined shipping is available when purchasing other Syrian or world banknotes.
