Commenti	The Bank of Sudan's relationship with Thomas De La Rue stretched across several decades, but by the late 1980s it was becoming politically complicated. Sudan's government under Omar al-Bashir, who seized power in June 1989, was pushing toward Islamist economic restructuring — a process that would eventually produce the entirely separate currency architecture of the 1990s and, later, the split with South Sudan. P#40 straddles that instability, issued across a date range that encompasses a coup. Notes from the post-1989 issues circulated under a government already planning to replace the pound with the dinar, which it did in 1992 at a rate of ten pounds to one dinar.
