Description

With the fall of France in 1940 during World War II, Syria came under the control of Vichy France until the British and Free French occupied the country in the Syria-Lebanon campaign in July 1941. Continuing pressure from Syrian nationalists and the British forced the French to evacuate their troops in April 1946, leaving the country in the hands of a republican government that had been formed during the mandate.

Regarding the second release of 1941, the exact date is challenging to ascertain due to the presence of a double obverse. Additionally, the strikes exhibit an offset axis. This might indicate an unmonitored trial during the regular production process.
