Libya Central Bank of Libya 5 Dinars 1985 Pick Unlisted Proof. Though this example looks like Pick 55 (white borders series 4 of 1988-90), this exact design was not adopted, as also indicated by the annotation in the border. This example features Arabic-Indic "5" in the corner denomination devices on the face, while the issued Pick 55 features Arabic numerals. Additionally, this proof uses dark green for the intaglio features on the face and back, while the issued example uses dark brown. This note is a very elusive and interesting part of Libyan currency history. PCGS Apparent Choice About New 58, tape repaired edge tear at bottom left. HID08701242017
Estimate: 800-1200 USD
