Summary
DescriptionCoat of arms of Sudan (1956–1970).svg
An approximate version of the state emblem or national coat of arms of Sudan from 1956 to 1970, based on the following two sources:
The International Flag Book in Color by Christian Fogd Pedersen (1971), p. 91.
The 1972 edition of the Petit Larousse encyclopedia/dictionary, p. 1708.
Information on this emblem is somewhat hard to come by, the above two available sources differ in a number of details, and my artistic skills are somewhat limited, so this image undoubtedly differs from the original official Sudanese government specification of the emblem, but all the elements of the emblem should be present.
The Arabic text reads جمهورية السودان jumhuriyat as-Sudan "The Republic of Sudan".
This image was first published in Sudan or South Sudan and is now in the public domain, either because its term of copyright has expired, or because it is ineligible for copyright protection according to the Sudanese Law (details). This work meets one of the following conditions:
It is a photographic or cinematographic work and at least twenty five years have elapsed since the end of the year of its publication.
It is another type of work and more than twenty five years have elapsed since the year of authors death and fifty years have elapsed since the year of publication.
It was first published in Sudan before 18 December 1996
Article 198 of the Constitution of the South Sudan declares that "All laws of South Sudan shall remain in force [...] unless new action are taken [...]." As there is no new South Sudanese copyright law at this time, the Sudanese one is still in force there.
