The Bank of Sudan title in bold Arabic script runs across the upper portion, beneath a promise-to-pay legend in Arabic, while the denomination numeral '50' appears in large decorative figures at the lower left and right. The governor's facsimile signature and the date of issue are positioned at lower left. |

Sudan's economic deterioration through the early 1990s was severe enough that the 50 Dinars represented meaningful purchasing power at issue — yet inflation was already moving fast enough to erode that within months. The Dinar itself was only introduced in 1992, replacing the Sudanese Pound at par as part of a broader monetary restructuring under the Bashir government's Islamic economic reforms, which also pushed the formal banking system toward interest-free structures.
Setec Oy, the Bank of Finland's security printing subsidiary, handled a surprisingly broad range of African and Middle Eastern central bank contracts during this period. Their Helsinki-printed notes are generally well-executed technically, with reliable thread placement.
