 Historical background and value
 In the late 1990s, Syria was in the early stages of economic liberalization, and agriculture, education, and infrastructure development were prioritized national policies. The elements depicted on this banknote symbolize these priorities, and convey the strong message that "the country's future lies in education and tradition."
 Furthermore, due to the Syrian civil war and economic sanctions, old design banknotes have disappeared from circulation and are now extremely rare on the international market. As a result, their value in the collector's market is increasing year by year, and they are expected to have future asset value.
