| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | The obverse is printed in brown and olive tones and carries Arabic text throughout. At left centre, an ornate circular vignette encloses the crowned arms of Libya — a crescent and star device within an elaborate guilloche border — flanked by wheat ears and palm fronds. The denomination numeral '10' appears in each corner in Arabic-Indic script, with the serial number printed twice: once at upper left and again at lower right. The central Arabic inscription gives the denomination 'Ten Libyan Pounds' above the issuing authority's legend and the enabling law reference. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse is printed in brown on a light ground and displays the English-language text. 'UNITED KINGDOM OF LIBYA' is lettered across the top, with the numeral '10' at each corner. Two large blank guilloche panels flank a central dark oval cartouche bearing the bold letterpress legend 'TEN LIBYAN POUNDS'. Above the cartouche a short legal-tender clause is set in small type, and below it a further inscription attributes the issue to the Libyan Currency Commission under Law No. 4 of 24th October 1951 in the reign of King Idris I. |

| Anmerkungen |
Libya's Currency Commission was a transitional authority established specifically to manage the country's monetary affairs during the handover from Allied administration to independence, achieved on 24 December 1951. This 10 Pound note was part of the first sovereign issue — printed before independence was formally declared, which means some of these notes existed before the state that issued them.
Bradbury Wilkinson's involvement was routine for British-administered territories of the period, but the Libyan commission series has always been modestly scarce at higher denominations. The 10 Pound face value placed it well above everyday transaction use, limiting its circulation from the outset.
