1.000 Sudanese Pounds
The Sudan 1,000 Sudanese Pounds banknote issued in June 2024 represents the Central Bank of Sudan's modernization efforts and response to the nation's economic challenges exacerbated by ongoing civil conflict. The obverse depicts Port Sudan, the country's primary seaport, grain silos representing agricultural resources, and gold bullion symbolizing the nation's mineral wealth. The denomination appears in both true Arabic numerals and standard Arabic numerals, with the date June 2024 prominently displayed, marking this as a contemporary emission.
The reverse features the Central Bank of Sudan headquarters building in Khartoum, the bank's official logo, and the denomination One Thousand Sudanese Pounds in English, emphasizing the note's official status. The color scheme incorporates green, orange, yellow, and black elements. This banknote was printed by Goznak, a Moscow-based security printing company, after the Central Bank in Khartoum and the Sudanese Currency Printing Plant were looted during the Sudanese civil war that erupted in April 2023.
The 1,000 Pound denomination serves as an essential higher-value note for major transactions within Sudan's economy. The issuance reflects the Central Bank's determination to maintain monetary stability and public confidence despite the severe disruptions caused by armed conflict. The note dimensions are 158 mm x 70 mm, and it incorporates modern security features reflecting international standards in banknote design.
