This specimen was lot 2030 in Goldberg sale 93 (Los Angeles, September 2016), where it sold for $1,057.50. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Sudan]]. 100 Pounds, AH1401/1981 NGC MS69. For the 25th Anniversary of Independence. Monument in Khartoum. NGC graded MS-69." 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. This commemorative, struck to the standard of a British double sovereign, was accompanied by a gold hundred pounds (KM 91) honoring the Year of the Disabled Person.
