| Obverse description | Plain cream paper note of austere emergency issue format, enclosed within a simple ruled rectangular border. The denomination is inscribed in Arabic script within a pointed cartouche at the top, below which appears a small oval serial number box. The body of the note carries handwritten Arabic text setting out the promise of payment, dated April 1884, with the manuscript signature of Gordon Pasha alongside two circular official green ink seals of the Government of Sudan. |
