Comment

The original plan of restriking the 1952 coin series was overruled by King Idris. A self-effacing devout Muslim, Idris (1889-1983, King of Libya from 1951 to 1969) refused to allow his portrait to be featured on Libyan currency, so the Senussi crest came to replace his portrait on coins and notes.

Interesting fact

The 100 Milliemes coin from Libya, minted in 1965, features a unique design that reflects the country's rich history and culture. On one side of the coin, there is an image of a traditional Libyan woman, dressed in a flowing white robe and headdress, surrounded by intricate patterns and designs that are typical of Libyan art and architecture. The other side of the coin features the Libyan national emblem, which includes a golden eagle holding a scroll with the country's name written in Arabic. The coin's design is a nod to Libya's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to preserving traditional practices and customs.
