Libya 1971 Central Bank of Libya 10 Dinars specimen with Omar al Mukhtar portrait, red specimen overprint, zero serial controls, final approved design state, PMG 58 EPQ

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

This specimen captures the precise point at which the engraving, underprint palette, and security architecture were formally locked for production. The portrait of Omar al-Mukhtar-engraved with deep-bite intaglio and dense cross-hatching-is fully integrated with the surrounding guilloche network and multitone background fields. Unlike earlier color trials or vignette proofs, no experimental elements remain; all visual and technical decisions have been finalized.
