| Opmerkingen |
Libya's Currency Commission was a transitional authority established specifically to manage the country's monetary affairs during the handover from Allied administration to independence, achieved on 24 December 1951. This 10 Pound note was part of the first sovereign issue — printed before independence was formally declared, which means some of these notes existed before the state that issued them.
Bradbury Wilkinson's involvement was routine for British-administered territories of the period, but the Libyan commission series has always been modestly scarce at higher denominations. The 10 Pound face value placed it well above everyday transaction use, limiting its circulation from the outset.
