| Additional information |
Libya's 2014 coinage was issued during one of the most unstable periods in the country's post-Gaddafi transition, with two rival governments — the Tobruk-based House of Representatives and the Tripoli-based General National Congress — each claiming legitimate authority over the state's institutions, including the Central Bank. That the bank managed to commission and distribute new coinage at all during this period is itself notable.
