| Additional information |
Trial pieces for Sudanese decimal coinage were produced in the early 1970s as the country worked through a currency reform that would replace the old piastre-based system. Gold trials of this denomination were almost certainly struck at the Royal Mint in the United Kingdom, which handled much of Sudan's transitional coinage work during this period. They were never intended for circulation.
Gold obverse trials exist to test die alignment and relief depth before committing to base-metal production. The number struck was almost certainly in the single digits.
