Comment
Pattern of KM#35 with "Government of Sudan" instead of "Republic of Sudan"Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Qirsh coin was designed by the renowned British artist and sculptor, Edward Bawden, who was known for his work in various fields, including coinage. Bawden's design for the Pattern 10 Qirsh coin features a stylized image of a traditional Sudanese sailing boat, known as a "gellabia," on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the denomination and the country's name in Arabic. This design was unique to Sudan and reflected the country's rich cultural heritage and maritime history.
