Libyan Token

3 posts
Hi all,

I have this silver token from Libya, which I added to the catalog, but it is still pending.
Metal silver, 28.27g, 40 mm, reeded edge
Here are pictures:


Does anyone know more about it? Or maybe someone can read Arab...I can only read the years next to Gaddafi...

Thanks a lot for your help!

Regards
Christoph
