1 dinar banknote of Libya, printed in 1988. This was the first banknote issue featuring a portrait of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The banknote is blue and green on a multicolor under-print, with a portrait of Gaddafi towards the left center. The most evident difference between this note and the next in series is the lower border, which is completely white for this note, and is colored light blue in the next. The obverse features an image of a mosque. 

Gaddafi was a colonel in the Libyan army, and came to power after overthrowing King Idris in a coup in 1969. He nationalized Libya's oil industry, which brought prosperity to the country. Gaddafi was known for his eccentric habits: he often stayed in a tent, even during foreign visits, he had an all female bodyguard unit, and travelled with a supply of Libyan soil to stand on. Gaddafi was deposed in 2011, via a US backed civil war, assisted by its NATO allies - pushing Libya into chaos and terror. His self styled title was 'Brother Leader', while US President Ronald Reagan referred to him in more colorful words - 'The Mad Dog of the Middle East'.

This is a very large note - and is the fourth note (lowest from bottom) in the second image. Size: 163 mm* 81 mm
