Libyan gold coin ???

Hello, can anyone help me identify this coin ? My father brought it back from Libya in the early 1960's, told me it was called the "Lady of Libya".

it's not a coin.................it's a medalet

 

We had it put into the clasp to protect it (it's very soft gold) and made a necklace for my wife. It is supposed to be a 20 dinar gold piece I was told.

 

according to krause these are the only gold coins produced by libya, they are the 5 and 70 dinars issued for the international year of the disabled, they share the same obverse (3)

i have also checked the other north african states for you and it has not shown in any listing, it does appear that it is not a coin but a medalet.........

 

Thanks for the info, can anybody translate the writing ?
