Libya's first post-revolutionary banknote series, issued after the September 1969 coup that brought Muammar Gaddafi to power, required the removal of King Idris's imagery and any explicitly monarchical symbolism. The Central Bank of Libya retained Bradbury Wilkinson — the same firm that had printed notes for the preceding Libyan pound series — to produce the new issues, making for an unusual continuity of printer across a sharp political rupture.
Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility closed permanently in 1990 when the company was absorbed by De La Rue, ending over a century of independent production.
