| Additional information |
The scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah) was declared extinct in the wild by the IUCN in 2000 — just two years after this coin was struck. Somalia's wildlife-themed issues of the late 1990s were produced during a period when the country had no functioning central government, the Somali National Bank had collapsed, and "Somali" coins were being contracted through private minting firms operating entirely outside the country. KM#44 was almost certainly never intended for domestic circulation.
