The Arch of Tiberius at Leptis Magna

A Roman Jewel on the Libyan Coast

The Arch of Tiberius stands at the heart of Leptis Magna, one of the most remarkably preserved Roman cities in the world. Built in honor of Emperor Tiberius around 35 CE, the arch marked the intersection of two major thoroughfares in what was then one of the most prosperous cities of the Roman Empire. Leptis Magna — birthplace of Emperor Septimius Severus — flourished as a major trading hub on the North African coast, its grand colonnaded streets, basilica, and harbor testifying to its former glory.

Today a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Leptis Magna draws scholars and travelers alike to its extraordinary state of preservation, its golden limestone columns rising against the Mediterranean sky much as they did two millennia ago.

Murzuq Fortress and the Fezzan

Gateway to the Sahara

On the reverse, the Murzuq Fortress rises amid a grove of palm trees in the heart of the Fezzan — the vast southwestern desert region of Libya that served for centuries as a crossroads of trans-Saharan trade. The fortress of Murzuq, capital of the historic Fezzan kingdom, was a key waypoint on caravan routes linking sub-Saharan Africa to the Mediterranean world, carrying gold, salt, and enslaved peoples across the sands.

The juxtaposition of fortress and palms captures the resilience of desert civilization — life sustained against an unforgiving landscape through ingenuity, trade, and endurance.

A Final Reflection: Two Worlds, One Note

This quarter dinar note encapsulates Libya's layered identity — the Mediterranean grandeur of Roman Leptis Magna on one face, and the Saharan depth of Fezzan's fortress culture on the other. Issued during the Jamahiriya period under Muammar Gaddafi's government, it is now demonetized, making it a collectible artifact of a political era that has since passed into history.

For the collector, this note offers not merely a piece of currency but a window into two of Libya's most storied landscapes — one carved in Roman stone, the other built of desert mud-brick — united on a single small rectangle of paper.

  • World Money Store ships from the United States, so any and all tariffs due are already covered by us.
  • Live outside the United States? You are not affected by this issue.

Who is World Money Store?

World Money Store is me, Βrian Grοss, the sole proprietor of this small business, based in Washington D.C. I've spend half my adult life in The Netherlands and Mexico and have an addiction to travel, history and languages (Spanish, Dutch Russian and a few others); Arabic my current challenge. My personal instagram is @df2dc.

I've been on ebay for 22 years, and I am also on Whatnot. I put together the website myself, and do all the purchasing.

I travel around the world to personally select a range of banknotes that I KNOW match the interests of my customers, and by traveling to the right places, I get them at the best prices, too.

I have three main groups of customers:

1. the ones who love diverse colorful and affordable notes from around the world

2. those who love to own pieces of the propaganda of communist dictatorships (Cuba, North Korea) and "bad guys" like the Ayatollah, Saddam, Gadaffi. Iran (Shah, Ayatollah), Syria (Assad, current).

3. those who seek Venezuelan and Iranian currency. We sell banknotes for collecting purposes only (our intention).

I happen to have a lot of depth and breadth in Mexico and Brazil, in addition to Cuba and Iran.

I don't focus on anything from the U.S. and Canada, items from before World War II, "lucky" serial numbers, or PMG-graded items.
