Syria 1.8.1942 P-46 PMG Choice Fine 15 5 Livres
A very scarce Bon de Caisse emergency issue from Syria. During World War II, the regular supply of coins and banknotes from France was impacted and shortages of circulating money were feared. To relieve such shortages, various new issues were authorized and issued. This 5 Livres was printed in Beirut and is very scarce in any grade. This is a pleasing problem-free circulated example that certainly looks like a VF to us.
