Comment
Pattern of KM#29 with "Government of Sudan" instead of "Republic of Sudan"Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Millieme coin from Sudan was designed by the renowned British artist and sculptor, Edward Bawden. Bawden was known for his minimalist and modernist style, which is reflected in the simple yet elegant design of the coin. The coin features a stylized image of a gazelle, which is a common motif in Sudanese art and culture. The use of bronze as the material for the coin was also a deliberate choice, as it was a widely available and affordable metal in Sudan at the time. Overall, the Pattern 1 Millieme coin is not only a rare and valuable collector's item but also a beautiful piece of art that reflects the rich cultural heritage of Sudan.
