| Obverse description | Large, boldly rendered head of an African elephant in right profile, occupying most of the field in a naturalistic artistic style. The elephant's prominent ear, tusks, and trunk are rendered in fine relief. The legend SOMALIA curves along the lower portion of the field, partially overlaid by the elephant's trunk, while the engraver's signature ROMAGNOLI appears incuse in small lettering to the left of the design. |
