| Opmerkingen |
Sudan's 1955 currency issues appeared in a peculiarly compressed political window — after the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium Agreement of 1953 set self-governance in motion but before formal independence on 1 January 1956. The Sudan Government notes of this transitional period were therefore issued by an administration that was neither colonial nor yet fully sovereign, a status with no clean parallel in the region's monetary history.
Waterlow & Sons had printed currency for the Sudan Currency Board going back decades, so the contract continuity here is unsurprising. What is notable is how short the effective issue life was — independence brought an almost immediate move toward establishing the Bank of Sudan, and these transitional government notes were superseded quickly.
Pick lists this as P#A2, indicating an early or provisional classification — likely reflecting incomplete documentation at the time the catalog entry was first established.
