| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is dominated by a central vignette of a traditional Nile sailing felucca with figures aboard, set against a riverbank landscape with palm trees, rendered in an intaglio brown tint. Arabic inscriptions appear at the top and centre of the note, with the bank name in a guilloche-bordered panel and the denomination rendered in large stylised Arabic script. A circular guilloche rosette occupies the right portion, with serial number and date printed in the lower margin flanking a facsimile signature. |

| Opmerkingen |
Sudan's first independent banknote series, issued following the declaration of independence in January 1956, replaced the circulating Egyptian and British currency that had served the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium period. The Bank of Sudan was established specifically to manage this transition, and Thomas De La Rue — the default choice for newly independent states throughout the 1950s — produced the entire inaugural series.
P#4 is the highest denomination in that first issue. Given Sudan's nascent banking infrastructure at the time, high-denomination notes from this series saw limited genuine public circulation and were used primarily in interbank and government transactions.
