Libya's 2019 polymer dinar arrived during a period of acute monetary instability — the country had been operating with two rival central banks since 2014, one in Tripoli and one in Tobruk, each issuing currency and each contesting the other's legitimacy. This note was issued under the Tripoli-based Central Bank, though both institutions continued to claim the same institutional name, complicating international recognition of the issue.
De La Rue's move to polymer for this denomination marked a departure from the earlier cotton-paper series. The transparent window is integral to the substrate rather than a separately applied feature — standard for De La Rue's Guardian polymer platform.
