| Reverse description | The central field features a lively high-relief scene of traditional Somali celebration, depicting three female dancers in flowing robes with arms raised in joyful motion, accompanied by a male drummer seated to the right playing a hand drum. The denomination legend 10 SHILLINGS appears in Latin script at the upper left, with the Arabic equivalent ١٠ شلن at the upper right, both rendered in bold raised lettering above the figural scene. The composition evokes the cultural festivities marking the tenth anniversary of the Somali Revolution, rendered in a naturalistic relief style with a plain field background. |
