Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1929-1937 Syrian 25 Qirsh/Piastres coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Syria. The coin was introduced in 1929, just a year after Syria gained its independence from France, and it remained in circulation until 1937, when the country's currency was replaced by the Syrian pound. During this period, Syria was experiencing rapid economic growth and modernization, and the coin reflects this change with its modern design and silver content. Despite its relatively short time in circulation, the coin remains a popular collector's item today, offering a glimpse into Syria's rich history and cultural heritage.
