Comment
Wreath bordersInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the Mahdist State, a short-lived Islamic state that was established in Sudan in the late 19th century. The Mahdist State was founded by Muhammad Ahmad, who declared himself the Mahdi, or the guided one, and led a successful rebellion against the British colonial rule in Sudan. The coin features the name of Abdullah, who was the Khalifa, or deputy, of the Mahdi, and its design includes wreath borders, which were a common feature of coins issued during this period. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and sought after by collectors, making it a valuable addition to any collection of African or Islamic numismatics.
