 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough, and the hook is generally supported (it is a general statement of existence rather than a specific fact, so every ref used de facto supports it). The hook is interesting enough, as the idea of "emergency currency" is generally uncommon enough to warrant interest, and the article is in fine shape for inclusion. It may be possible to run this with one of the article's images as well. My one query is the article's title—I'm unfamiliar with the workings of WP:NMSM or their MOS, but it seems that "Siege of Khartoum" isn't really the name of the currency, and "Piastre (Siege of Khartoum)" or "Siege of Khartoum currency" (without the brackets, as the disambiguator implies a name rather than a descriptor) may work better.

 * G RAPPLE - Thanks for the review. I've added an image to the nomination and also moved the page per your suggestion and removed the parentheses. Please let me know if there is anything else.--Godot13 (talk) 22:39, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
