Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Pounds (OAU; Copper Piedfort) 1398 (1978) from Sudan made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that was never put into circulation. It was minted in 1978 as a pattern coin, meaning it was created as a trial or sample coin and not intended for widespread use. This coin is particularly interesting because it features the OAU (Organization of African Unity) emblem on one side and the Sudanese coat of arms on the other, symbolizing Sudan's connection to the African continent and its commitment to regional cooperation. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin adds to its distinctiveness, as most coins are made from more common metals like nickel or zinc.
