1 Pound

This note falls within the brief window between Sudan's adoption of Islamic banking laws in September 1983 — part of Nimeiry's September Laws — and the currency reform of 1992 that replaced the Sudanese pound with the dinar. De La Rue printed the series in London, though Sudan was by this point politically invested in projecting Islamic financial independence; the irony of contracting a British commercial printer was not lost on observers at the time.

The watermark is the sole security feature, modest even by early 1980s standards for a De La Rue production.
