Banknote Book® Price Guide

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Central Bank of Libya series of Libya in the World Currency contains 153 distinct entries with CPG® values between $1.00 and $725.00.

On 1 September 1969, while King Idris was in Turkey for medical treatment, he was deposed in a coup d’état by a group of Libyan army officers under the leadership of Muammar Qaddafi. The monarchy was abolished and a republic proclaimed. Foreign banks were nationalized in December 1970, and the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) was established the following year with its headquarters in Tripoli. For more information, visit www.cbl.gov.ly.
