About this banknote
The Sudan Currency Board issued the 50 piastres banknote in 1956, following Sudan's independence from British-Egyptian rule. This series was introduced to establish a distinct national currency separate from the Egyptian pound, marking a significant step in economic sovereignty for the newly independent nation.
The front of the banknote features a depiction of elephants in a natural setting, along with Arabic inscriptions. The reverse side showcases a camel rider in a desert scene, under the label "SUDAN CURRENCY BOARD". Printed by De La Rue in London, the note measures 125 x 70 mm and is primarily green, with ochre and dull violet underprint.
