The wonderful set comprises the 50,100,200,500,1000,2000 and 5000 Syrian Pounds issued between 2009 and 2019 .

A wonderful set in Crisp Uncirculated.

One of the most severe of hyperinflations was that suffered by Hungary after the Second World War. Denominations soared 10 to the power of 23 in very short order making it one of the worst inflationary periods in the last 100 years. This makes this 10,000 pengo note seem very modest by comparison. It was issued at the start of the crazy times and has a stamp attached (P119) The front has a portrait of a young woman while the back has Hungarian and Russian text, Grading at least VF.

This 5 sen note was the smallest note issued in Japan during the period 1942 to 1945 (P52.) Like its value, it is quite small. The illustration on the front is an equestrian statue of 14th-century Samurai Kusunoki Mashigi in front of the Imperial Palace. The back has a rosette and paulownia flowers. Uncirculated.
