Historically, it was founded by the Phoenicians in the 7th century BC and has since been ruled by the Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, and Italians, serving as a major port and cultural crossroads. Its historic core, the medina of Old Tripoli, contains well-preserved examples of its diverse architectural heritage.

Libya

Libya is a North African country with a rich history rooted in ancient civilizations such as the Phoenicians and Romans, later becoming a center of Arab and Islamic culture. In the modern era, it was an Italian colony before gaining independence in 1951, followed by Muammar Gaddafi’s lengthy rule from 1969 until the 2011 revolution. The country is home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the ancient Greek city of Cyrene and the Roman ruins of Leptis Magna.

US dollar

The US dollar is the official currency of the United States, established by the Coinage Act of 1792. It evolved from a system based on Spanish milled dollars and has become the world’s primary reserve currency since the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944.

Turkish Silver Bars

Turkish silver bars, often referred to as “Turkish Republic Gold and Silver Bars,” are investment-grade bullion produced by the Istanbul Gold Refinery with the backing of the Turkish government. Their history is tied to Turkey’s modern economic policies, particularly efforts since the late 20th century to promote domestic savings and provide a secure, state-guaranteed precious metal asset for investors. These bars are a recognized form of wealth preservation and a popular alternative to gold within the country.
