| Additional information |
Sudan's 1983 coinage sits at a precise historical fault line. President Nimeiry declared the introduction of Islamic sharia law that same year — the "September Laws" — triggering the collapse of the Addis Ababa Agreement and reigniting civil war in the south. The Central Bank issued this series just months before the country fractured again.
