 Holding history in your hands: The allure of the 1997 Syrian 1,000 pound note

 The Syrian 1,000 GBP note, issued in 1997, is more than just currency; it is a collectible banknote. Issued by the Central Bank of Syria, it is widely recognized by collectors and history enthusiasts as a symbol of the nation at the time and a reflection of the foundations of a modern economy.

 This banknote was issued at a critical time in the Syrian Arab Republic's economy and politics, and strongly expresses the country's identity. It has now been demoted and is no longer in use, but it remains highly sought after as a rare banknote.

 Obverse design: Banknotes that reflect the face of the country

 The obverse features an intricate portrait of former Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, who ruled Syria for a long period from 1971 to 2000 and promoted the modernization and stabilization of the country. His portrait appears on many Syrian banknotes and is a symbol of that era.

 In the background is the Umayyad Mosque, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture and known as one of the oldest mosques in the world. Located in the old city of Damascus, this mosque holds great religious and historical importance. The fact that this mosque is featured on the banknotes also demonstrates the country's deep respect for Syrian culture and traditions.

 Reverse design: Symbol of industry and economy

 The reverse design symbolizes Syria's industrial diversity and the foundations of the national economy: construction workers and industrial facilities on the left, an oil rig in the center, and an agricultural scene with combine harvesters and a ship representing maritime transport on the right.

 These images show that Syria has built a diversified economic structure, including agriculture, oil, construction and trade. The banknotes are well-balanced, covering the major sectors of the country's development, allowing readers to sense the country's historical context.
