5 Dinars Disabled Persons, Piedfort

Piedfort coins — struck at twice the normal planchet thickness — were a French minting tradition revived in the modern era largely as collector premiums. Libya's adoption of the format for this disabled persons issue in 1981 is unusual; piedfort production in North African states during this period was rare, and the Central Bank almost certainly contracted European minting facilities to produce it.

The KM#P1 designation confirms this as the first — and possibly only — piedfort in the Libyan series, making comparative population data essentially nonexistent.
