This specimen was lot 3791 in Sincona sale 43 (Zürich, October 2017), where it sold for 800 CHF (about US$955 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Sudan, Republik, seit 1956 100 Pounds 1984. Jahrzehnt für die Frauen 1976-1985. Selten. Nur 513 Exemplare geprägt. Polierte Platte. FDC. (republic of Sudan, since 1956, one hundred pounds of 1985, International Women's Decade, 1976-85. Rare. Only 513 pieces struck. Choice Proof)"
This NCLT accompanied a silver five pounds (KM 92) with a different design. It was struck at the Valcambi mint in Switzerland. 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: 513.
