The crowned Libyan arms — a shield bearing a crescent and star set within an ornate cartouche — appears as a central vignette to the left, flanked by palm fronds and wheat ears rendered in fine intaglio line work against a blue and ochre guilloche underprint. Arabic inscriptions occupy the upper and central portions of the note, with the bank title at top and the denomination in large script below. Two serial numbers appear, one at upper left and one at lower right, with a single governor's signature below the main text block. |

The reverse is printed predominantly in blue and grey, with the bank title BANK OF LIBYA in a central horizontal band at top, above two large overlapping multicoloured guilloche rosettes that dominate the centre field. The denomination ONE LIBYAN POUND is set in bold serif lettering between the rosettes, with the legal tender and issuing authority inscription in a cartouche below. The denomination £L1 appears in each corner, and the overall border consists of intricate arabesque and geometric guilloche work. |

Libya's first post-monarchical central bank series, this note was issued under the Kingdom of Libya before Gaddafi's 1969 coup ended the Senussi dynasty entirely. The Bank of Libya had only been established in 1956, replacing the earlier National Bank, and the 1963 series represented the young institution's effort to assert a coherent national currency after years of monetary arrangements tied to British and French occupation currency.
Bradbury Wilkinson handled much of the Commonwealth-adjacent world's security printing through the 1950s and 60s, and their New Malden facility printed for dozens of newly independent states during decolonization. Post-coup, this series was withdrawn quickly and replaced by Gaddafi-era issues — surviving circulated examples show heavy use consistent with a note that wasn't in circulation long before demonetization.
