About This Series

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Military Authority in Tripolitania series of Libya in the World Currency contains 12 distinct entries with CPG® values between $2.50 and $7,600.00.

The Military Authority lira replaced the Italian lira at par, with an exchange rate of 480 lire to the pound sterling. In Cyrenaica, the Egyptian pound had been in use as well, but it too was replaced by the Military Authority lira. ...
