1/2 Dinar

Thomas De La Rue has printed Libyan currency through multiple political configurations, and this 2002 issue falls squarely within the Gaddafi-era series that largely replaced earlier designs tied to the Revolutionary Command Council period. The half-dinar denomination has historically served heavy retail use in Libya, which means circulated survivors typically show accelerated wear along the horizontal fold lines — a known characteristic of this format in hot, dry climates where notes are folded tightly into clothing rather than wallets.

Security provision here is minimal by the standards De La Rue was capable of at the time — watermark only, no security thread.
