Obverse: The obverse of the coin features the inscription dividing the dates within the design, with Arabic and Latin scripts. The Arabic inscription reads "دولة سورية" ("State of Syria"), and the Latin inscription reads "ETAT DE SYRIE". The dates 1935 in Arabic and in Latin, are also divided within the design, with Arabic numerals alongside Latin ones. Reverse: The reverse displays the denomination "CINQ PIASTRES" in Latin and "خمسة غروش" ("5 Piastres") in Arabic. Crossed oat sprigs divide the value on the reverse. The Arabic numerals, ٥ (5), also appear alongside their Latin counterparts, 5. Due to the rotated 180 degrees mint error, this coin stands out as an unusual and rare collectible, especially desirable for collectors of mint errors or those focusing on Syrian numismatics.
