Interesting fact
The 2½ Qirsh coin from Syria, minted in 1960, was the first coin in the country to feature the new Republican government's emblem, which replaced the previous royal coat of arms. This change in design marked a significant shift in Syria's political history, as the country had recently gained independence from France and was transitioning towards a republican system.
