Comment
Possibly a pattern, trial strike or an unreleased issue.Very similar to the same series of coins issued in 1989 but in 25 Qirsh, 50 Qirsh, and 1 Pound denominations only.
Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Qirsh coin from Sudan features a unique design on its reverse side, showcasing a traditional Sudanese motif known as the "Khamseen," which represents the 50th anniversary of Sudan's independence. This design was only used on a limited number of coins minted in 1989, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
