Comment
Minted in 1951Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1950 Syrian ½ Pound coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was issued in the year 1369 according to the Islamic calendar, which corresponds to 1950 in the Gregorian calendar. This was just a few years after Syria gained its independence from France in 1946, and the country was in the process of transitioning from a colonial economy to a modern, independent state. The coin's gold and copper composition also reflects the country's rich natural resources and its efforts to establish a stable economy.
