| Obverse description | Central field features the Sudanese coat of arms, depicting a secretary bird with outstretched wings displayed, superimposed on a shield; a scroll below bears the state name in Arabic legend. The Hijri year AH 1407 appears to the left of the arms and the Gregorian year AD 1986 to the right, dividing the dual dating across the field. The Arabic motto 'Al-Nasr Lana' (Victory is Ours) is inscribed above the arms. The legend 'Jumhuriyyat al-Sudan al-Dimuqratiyyah' (Democratic Republic of the Sudan) runs along the lower portion of the coin. All inscriptions are rendered in Arabic script. |

| Additional information |
Pattern coinage from Sudan in 1986 falls squarely within the turbulent monetary period following the country's adoption of Islamic banking principles under Nimeiry's September Laws of 1983 — a transition that complicated the entire coinage program as the government struggled to reconcile denomination structures with the new financial framework. Nimeiry was ousted in April 1985, leaving successor administrations to sort out a currency system mid-reform.
Patterns from this period were often produced in limited trial strikes as authorities evaluated proposed designs for a stabilized post-transition coinage. Few reached circulation.
