Obverse description Arabic text of the United Kingdom of Libya appears at top, with the crowned national arms within an oval guilloche vignette at left centre, flanked by wheat and palm fronds. The denomination in Arabic script occupies the central panel, with serial number printed twice — once in Arabic-Indic numerals at upper left and once in Western numerals at lower right. A fine geometric underprint fills the background throughout.
