This specimen was issued by Sudan to honor the eighth anniversary of the 1969 revolt. It was removed from an F.A.O. set yet the coin makes no reference to that organization or its agenda of agricultural development. We have therefore not included it in the F.A.O. category. Sudan obtained independence from Great Britain and Egypt in 1956 and began to issue coins soon thereafter. The Christian, black-dominated south has never regarded itself as part of the Arab-dominated north and the resulting conflict has frequently erupted into war.
Recorded mintage: 100,000.
Specification: copper-nickel.
Catalog reference: KM 73.
