The numeral '٥' appears in large format at upper left and lower right within ornate cartouches, while a scales-of-justice emblem is positioned at the upper left margin. The issuer's name in Arabic script is printed across the top band, with the denomination in Arabic text at the lower centre and the Governor's signature with title below at left. |

By 2006, Sudan's currency printing had been fully repatriated to Khartoum — the Sudan Currency Printing Press, established in the 1990s, handling production entirely without the foreign contractors that had supplied earlier series. Domestic printing gave the government direct control over issuance timing, a significant political priority during the extended international sanctions period that made contracting with European security printers increasingly difficult.
The security package — watermark and thread only — is modest by contemporary standards, reflecting the technical ceiling of domestic production at the time.
