Aus dem Vorwort:
The collection of Sudan reflects its rich history during the 19th and 20th centuries and its paper money history is tracked down to the 1884 with the most famous "Siege of Khartoum" emergency currency paper money, issued by British Governor-General of the Sudan, Major-General Charles George Gordon during the Siege of Khartoum and with his personal guaranty. Thes small size notes were denominated almost entirely in Egyptian piastres, the currency in use in Sudan at that time, with another note denominated LE50. These historical items are well represented in the Sudan banknotes magnificent collection.
The collection also ncludes twteresting unique trials of 10 piastres note, from early 20th century, under the authority of Sudan Government. The trials designs include Egyptian Khadivian crescent and star, combined with British Lion motif.
Another most interesting part of the collection is the Cassa Mediterranea di Credito Per ll Svdan, series of notes issued by the authority of Cassa Mediterranea di Credito for intended use in Sudan, once occupied by Italian forces. Eventually, the Italian plan had failed an the notes were never in use.
When Sudan was separated from Egypt and gained its independence in 1956, Egypt was already in its post royal ere as a republic for nearly 4 years. As such, the design of the notes was with a combined design of emphasize on national themes such as soldiers in formation, along with landscapes. The front is resembled to the one used on the Egyptian notes. The collection covers many of unadopted designs of the early years.
The modern State of South Sudan is also being part of this collection with every single banknote issued since its establishment in 2011.
