Additional information

Sudan's 1989 coinage came at a moment of acute political rupture — the year Omar al-Bashir's military coup ousted the elected government of Sadiq al-Mahdi in June, installing the Revolutionary Command Council for National Salvation. The shift to copper-nickel plated steel from earlier solid copper-nickel reflects the fiscal pressure the Sudanese pound was already under, a debasement strategy that would accelerate sharply through the early 1990s as inflation took hold.
