| Additional information |
Sudan's 1996 coinage appeared during a period of acute currency instability following the country's shift to an Islamist economic model under Omar al-Bashir's government, which had abolished interest-bearing transactions in compliance with sharia banking principles. The dinar itself had only replaced the Sudanese pound in 1992 at a rate of 10 pounds to one dinar — a redenomination that did little to arrest chronic inflation.
By the mid-1990s, Sudan was under comprehensive U.S. economic sanctions and largely cut off from IMF assistance, leaving domestic monetary policy with almost no external anchor.
