Cool blue engraving gives the 100 Pounds a formal, almost ceremonial tone, placing Dr. John Garang de Mabior opposite a landscape of lion and falling water.
Design & Symbolism
Obverse
The obverse is centred on the portrait of Dr. John Garang de Mabior, with the Dinka warrior spear, Bank of South Sudan text, broad denomination numerals and a vertical windowed security thread cutting through the design. The composition keeps the founding political figure at the front of the note while the blue palette gives the high denomination a restrained authority.
Reverse
The reverse shows a reclining lion beside waterfalls, framed by the Bank of South Sudan name and the 100 Pounds denomination. The scene brings together wildlife and landscape, giving the note a visual language of strength, territory and natural abundance rather than a purely institutional design.
Collector’s Insight
For collectors, this 100 Pounds note belongs to South Sudan’s dated 2015-2019 issue and represents the 2019 P-15d variety. It is distinguished by the Dier Tong Ngor and Salvatore Garang Mabiordit signature combination, the AQ-AX prefix range and the dated front layout. The note carries a windowed security thread with demetalized BSS 100, a John Garang watermark with electrotype 100 and cornerstones, and a reverse gold iridescent ink stripe repeating 100, giving this late variety clear technical markers within the early South Sudanese pound series.
