| Obverse description | Central field features a raised relief outline map of the African continent, its interior populated with detailed scenic vignettes including acacia trees, traditional thatched huts, elephants, and a bird in the lower portion, with a sun and clouds visible at the upper left of the continent. The Somali national arms — a shield charged with a five-pointed star supported by two leopards, surmounting crossed palm branches — appears at the lower left of the field, with the fineness mark '.999' inscribed beneath it. The legend 'SOMALI REPUBLIC' arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin characters, and the date '2000' is prominently displayed at the bottom of the field. |

| Reverse description | Central raised relief depicts two chimpanzees rendered in finely detailed naturalistic style, shown facing the viewer in a close portrait composition, their expressive faces and textured fur carefully articulated against a polished field. The design is enclosed within a raised inner border, creating a distinct inner medallion. The legend '• THE AFRICAN MONKEY •' arcs along the upper periphery in bold raised Latin lettering, while the lower border carries the inscriptions '1 OZ .999' to the left, '• $10 •' at the base, and 'FINE SILVER' to the right, separated by raised dots. |
