1 Dollar Pope Benedict

Somalia's governmental collapse following the early 1990s civil war created a vacuum that various factions and breakaway administrations exploited to issue collector-targeted coinage with no genuine circulation mandate. This piece, referencing Benedict XVI's election in April 2005, falls squarely into that category — produced for the international numismatic market rather than Somali commerce.

The X# prefix in the reference confirms its classification as an unofficial or private issue in the Krause system.
