This is an odd note of 1000 pounds printed with the year date of June 2024. I am not sure why I bought this note, perhaps it was not that expensive, and it's a new series with only one note released so far. I do have the habit of buying new and cheap notes for no reasons whatsoever.
According to the current series of banknotes issued, this is the largest denomination circulating in the country. However, this is not the largest denomination ever issued as back in 1992-1998 series, the largest note issued was the 10,000 dinar. Civil war started in Sudan in April 2023 when opposing forces tried to gain control of the country. Given the current political crises and the ongoing conflicts in the country, it is not sure if larger denominations will be issued at a later date, or if this note even holds any real value in the economy, especially the country is currently suffering from high inflation rates in excess of 100+%.
Back - On the back, all text are printed in English. On the back, the main image is the Bank of Sudan's main office situated at the capital city, Khartoum. Due to the ongoing civil war that started in April 2023, opposing forces had been trying to control the bank from issuing currency in order to cripple the country's economy. Due to the fighting between the two forces, the bank's head office was significantly damaged, as well as other branches across the country. This led to many branches across the country being looted (free money) and destroyed. Given the current situation in the country, it is interesting to know how far this 1000 pounds series will go or will it be replaced at a later date. To the right is the month/year date of June 2024, and three gold bars is also printed above the value of '1000'
