Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Pounds (OAU; Copper Piedfort) 1398 (1978) from Sudan made of Copper is that it is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a test or sample coin to evaluate the design and production process, but it was never approved for circulation. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
