| Opmerkingen |
Libya's Currency Commission was a transitional authority, established to issue a national currency ahead of formal independence in December 1951. The Commission itself had no permanent existence — it was dissolved once the Kingdom of Libya's own monetary institutions were in place, making this entire series short-lived by design.
The quarter pound denomination is the smallest in the 1951 series. De La Rue printed the full set, as they did for a number of newly independent states in this period whose own printing infrastructure didn't yet exist.
