| Reverse description | The reverse is printed predominantly in red and rose on a fine guilloche ground, with the legend CENTRAL BANK OF SUDAN at top centre and the CBOS emblem at upper left beside the large numeral "50". The central vignette portrays a traditional Nile felucca under full sail carrying passengers across calm water, juxtaposed at left with a fisherman hauling a net from a smaller boat, while camels and desert scenery fill the background in a pale underprint. A vertical security thread is embedded at centre, a Nile fish motif with Braille-style dots appears at right, and the English denomination FIFTY SUDANESE POUNDS with the numeral "50" is set at lower right, above a lower border band of repeating animal guilloche ornaments. |

| Comments |
Sudan established its own currency printing facility — the Sudan Currency Printing Press — partly to reduce dependence on foreign printers, a strategic priority that intensified after the country's various political ruptures. By 2018, the Sudanese pound was deep into a prolonged depreciation spiral, with inflation eroding purchasing power so severely that the 50-pound note, once a meaningful denomination, had become nearly transactional small change within months of issue.
The Pick 76 series carries only watermark and security thread protection — a notably thin security specification for a note of this face value issued at a time when counterfeiting pressure on Sudanese currency was well documented by regional financial authorities.
