10 Milliemes Revolution

Issued to mark the second anniversary of Jaafar Nimeiry's coup of May 25, 1969 — officially rebranded the "Corrective Revolution" — this coin was part of a broader effort to embed the new regime's identity into everyday commerce. Nimeiry had seized power from the transitional government of Ismail al-Azhari, and the commemorative coinage program was a deliberate act of institutional legitimation.

Sudan issued similar revolution-dated pieces in 1970 and 1971, creating a short commemorative series that was discontinued as Nimeiry's political alliances shifted dramatically through the early 1970s, culminating in his violent break with the Sudanese Communist Party following a failed counter-coup in July 1971.
