The Pattern 5 Qirsh coin was designed by the renowned British artist and designer, Edward Ardizzone, who was known for his work in coinage and banknote design. He created the design for the Sudanese currency during the country's transition to independence in the 1950s. The coin features a unique blend of traditional Sudanese motifs and modern design elements, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage and its aspirations for a modern, independent future.
