| Comments |
South Sudan gained independence in July 2011, and this note belongs to the second series issued by the Bank of South Sudan — an incremental refinement of the founding currency rather than a redesign. De La Rue's involvement from the outset gave the series a technically competent baseline, though the security package here is modest relative to contemporaneous African issues from the same printer.
P#11 superseded the 2011 issue of the same denomination as the country was still building its central banking infrastructure — a process complicated severely by the civil war that reignited in December 2013.
