Libya's independence on 24 December 1951 made it the first country to achieve independence through a United Nations resolution. The Libyan Currency Commission was established specifically to manage the transition away from the British Military Administration currency that had been circulating since the Allied defeat of Axis forces in North Africa — this note was part of that initial sovereign issue, printed before the country had a central bank of its own.
Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden works handled the job. The Currency Commission itself was wound up once the National Bank of Libya was established in 1955, making this series short-lived by design.
