Informazioni aggiuntive	This coin belongs to Libya's first independent coinage series, issued the year after the country achieved independence under UN auspices in December 1951 — making Idris I the first and only king of a state that had existed, in its modern form, for less than twelve months when these were struck. The entire 1952 series, from 1 millieme to 500 milliemes, had to be designed, authorized, and produced from scratch with no prior national monetary infrastructure to build on. KM#1 in any national sequence carries obvious significance to type collectors, and this is genuinely the first coin Libya ever issued.
