Comments
Adhesive tax stamp affixed to cardboard.
In 1945, Syria issued small-denomination banknotes (fractional currency) often referred to as "postage stamp issues" or emergency notes due to the shortage of metal coins, specifically in denominations of 2½, 5, 10, and 25 Piastres. These 1945-dated notes feature Arabic text and represent the Syrian Republic's mandatory period currency.
