History
Kingdom o Libie (1951–1969)
The emblem o the Kinrick o Libie, kent as the "Croun o Libie", wis uised frae 1952-1969.

The constitution o the Kinrick o Libie o 1952 in airticle 7 describes the banner, but no the emblem. Nae official description is available at present (owin tae the restrictions placit on govrenment airchives sin the military coup o 1969), an the design is reconstructit frae mony variants in shape an colour schemes. The design as representit in official govrenment soorces o 1952-1969, that describes the emblem, is as follaes:

 Upper croun adornit wi a white Crescent an five-pointit starn at its summit, at whilk five visible side frames oreeginatin frae a ring at the base converge. The starn studdit base an frame haes a velvet black heid cover lik object.
 The Upper croun is supportit at its base bi twa ornate plantar designs; in the form o three intertwint C an S scroll shapes.
 Twa muckle “Shoulder” frames haes the body o the croun frae the richt an left [...]. Ilka side is a complex formation o intertwint branches in the shape o an S Curve, whilk is essentially twa back-tae-back C scrolls; the muckler ane o whilk terminates in a muckle bonnie spiral at the tap. [...]
 The backgrund colour o the muckle interior belaw the upper croun can be white or transparent, awtho this isnae evident in the pictur o the Libie pund. The backgrund colour o the centre region surroondin the muckle white crescent an starn is black as in the centre stripe o the Libie banner.
 A white ring wi thin black borders, surroonds the center muckle white crescent an starn.
 Nine five-pointit white starns surroond the centre ring.
 Muckle white crescent.
 Five pointit starn locatit well abuin the perimeter o the crescent. This differs frae the banner, that places the starn at the extremities o the crescent.
 A lawer crown, seatit abuin the ring containin the central crescent an starn. Its design is identical tae the upper croun, except for bein smawer in size.
 Plantar/ floral ornamentation seemilar tae #2 abuin, providin variation an connectivity tae the base.
 At the base, an ornate design that resembles a document scroll wi a ring tee at its centre. It is notit that the colour scheme o the croun is maist likely white for the starns an crescents, black an white (or transparent) for spaces, an gowd for the crouns an frames. [...]

The upward-pointin white crescent an starn on black backgrund is taken frae the traditional banner o the Senussi dynasty.

Libie unner Gaddafi
In 1970, Libie adoptit a coat o airms seemilar tae that o Egyp (the "Eagle o Saladin"), whilk in 1972 the Federation o Arab Republics unification plan led Libie tae adopt a coat o airms seemilar tae that o Sirie (the Hawk o Quraish, or emblem o the tribe o the prophet Muhammad).  On Libie's exit frae the Federation in 1977 (tae become the "Great Socialist Fowk Libie Arab Jamahiriya"), the coat o airms o the Federation wis chyngit tae reflect the new green banner o Libie adoptit at that time an aw, whilk the hawk wis chyngit tae face in the ither direction. The phrase اتحاد الجمهوريات العربية (ittiħād al-jumhūriyyāt al-`arabiyya "Federation (literally Union) o Arab Republics") aye remainit scrieved on the banner clutched in the feet o the hawk.
