Sudan's Central Bank turned to Goznak in Moscow for this issue — a pairing that reflects the Sudanese government's longstanding economic alignment with Russia during a period when Western printing houses were effectively off-limits due to sanctions. The 2019 date places this note in the final months of Omar al-Bashir's thirty-year presidency, which collapsed in April of that year following mass protests and a military coup.
The watermark-only security specification is notably sparse for a high-denomination note, suggesting either cost constraints or expedited production timelines during a politically unstable period.
