| Additional information |
Somaliland has issued its own currency since 1994, operating as a self-declared republic unrecognized by any UN member state — its coins are legal tender domestically but exist in an odd limbo internationally, making them curiosities rather than instruments of trade beyond its borders. The motorcycle series targets the novelty collector market directly, with colorized steel issues produced in small quantities by foreign mints under contract.
