| Additional information |
Sudan's 2006 coinage reform came amid the grinding final years of the Second Sudanese Civil War and the early stages of the Darfur crisis, both of which were straining government finances and disrupting the normal flow of currency into the country's interior regions. A non-magnetic bimetallic format was specified for this denomination, distinguishing it from related issues and enabling automated sorting — a practical consideration for a monetary system under considerable logistical pressure.
