Libya 1971 - Central Bank of Libya 10 Dinars Specimen (Omar al-Mukhtar Portrait, Pick 37s)

Copies were distributed to central bank departments, government ministries, regional bank branches, and international correspondents to standardize cash handling, verify security features, and familiarize staff with the new design prior to release.

Libya 1971 - Central Bank of Libya 10 Dinars Color Trial Specimen (Omar al-Mukhtar Portrait, Pick 37cts)

Color trial specimens occupy a critical position within the banknote production sequence.

Their purpose was to test color harmony, ink density, and registration behavior under production conditions before full authorization of the circulating issue.

Libya 1971 Central Bank of Libya 10 Dinars issued note Pick 37a without Arabic inscription, Omar al Mukhtar portrait, PMG 65 EPQ

Libya 1971 - Central Bank of Libya 10 Dinars Issued Note (Pick 37a, Without Arabic Inscription)

The omission of the Arabic inscription reflects the rapid transition from design approval to public release during the early years of Libya’s republican currency reform. While the portrait, guilloche framework, and security architecture had been fully finalized, secondary legal text lagged behind the production schedule, resulting in a brief circulation window for this inscription-free variant.

Libya 1971 - Central Bank of Libya Omar al-Mukhtar Intaglio Vignette Proof (Portrait Master for 10 Dinars Issue)

This intaglio vignette proof represents the master engraved portrait of Omar al-Mukhtar prepared for the Central Bank of Libya’s post-monarchy currency redesign introduced in 1971. The vignette constitutes a standalone production artifact, engraved independently of any completed banknote and intended for transfer into the face plate of the new 10 Dinars issue following final approval.
