South Sudan Coins
The official currency of South Sudan is the South Sudanese pound, introduced in 2011 following the country's independence. This monetary system reflects the complex economic and political history of the region, marked by conflict and significant changes in recent decades.
Monetary history
Prior to its independence, South Sudan used the Sudanese pound. During the period of autonomy prior to separation, the South Sudanese Dinar was issued as a parallel currency. The transition to the South Sudanese pound was made to establish a separate monetary identity and to facilitate the economic control of the new state.
Numismatic highlights
The first series of South Sudanese coins was minted in 2015, including denominations of 10, 20 and 50 piastres, and 1 and 2 pounds. These coins feature national symbols and local fauna, reflecting the country's cultural identity. A major milestone was the issuance of commemorative banknotes in 2021 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of independence, highlighting the achievements and challenges of Africa's youngest nation.
