1 Dinar

Libya's 2017 coinage was issued amid one of the most chaotic monetary situations in modern North African history. The country was operating under two rival governments at the time — the Tobruk-based House of Representatives and the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord — each claiming authority over the Central Bank. Banknotes were being printed by competing factions, and the introduction of circulating coinage was partly an attempt to assert institutional legitimacy during a period when paper currency confidence had collapsed.

KM#36 is the second dinar coin type for Libya, replacing the earlier bimetallic issue.
