Collection: South Sudanese Banknotes

South Sudan is the youngest country in the world: it gained independence on July 9, 2011, and nine days later it already had its own currency, the South Sudanese pound, which replaced the Sudanese pound at par.

A single face on all banknotes

All denominations bear the same portrait: John Garang de Mabior, the leader of the independence movement, who died in 2005, six years before seeing his goal achieved. On the reverse, the fauna changes according to the value: giraffes, elephants, buffalo, oryx, and Sanga cattle, the breed with enormous horns that is a symbol of status among the country's pastoralist peoples.

A currency in free fall

The South Sudanese pound started at 2.75 to the dollar in 2011; the subsequent civil war has devalued it to the point of making it one of the most inflationary currencies in the world, and the Central Bank has even considered replacing it entirely.
