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
