Dar el-Mal — literally "House of Money" — was a short-lived Sudanese treasury established under Turco-Egyptian administration in Khartoum. Notes attributed to this issuer from the 1850s occupy genuinely uncertain territory: the Pick catalogue assigns no confirmed number to this piece, and physical survivors are so rare that authentication and attribution remain contested among specialists.
Whether this circulated as a functional instrument or served primarily as an internal treasury document is unresolved. The 1858 date places it squarely in the decade before the Mahdist uprising dismantled the existing monetary infrastructure of the Sudan entirely.
