The Central Bank of Libya Issues a New 5 Dinar Banknote Featuring SAFEGUARD® ARGENTUM
Last week the Central Bank of Libya issued its new 5 Dinar denomination on SAFEGUARD® polymer substrate, marking the 10
th anniversary of the Libyan Revolution. This is the second banknote on SAFEGUARD®, following on from the 1 Dinar in 2018. Like the 1 Dinar the new SAFEGUARD® 5 Dinar features a complex window depicting Libya's iconic resistance leader Omar Mukhtar, the 'hide and reveal' substrate feature, MASK⢠and the UV ink feature GEMINIâ¢.
The 5 Dinar is also the first banknote in the world to be issued with SAFEGUARD® ARGENTUM as part of the polymer substrate. This highly reflective silver ink forms part of the polymer substrate and has been integrated into the polymer window of the 5 Dinar banknote as five mirror-like shapes, representing the denominational value, around the edge of the window.
