Bilingual legends in Latin and Arabic encircle the design, with the full official name of the Democratic Republic of Somalia appearing at the top and the commemorative inscription marking the tenth anniversary of the Revolution (1969–1979) positioned in the lower field. The dates 1969–1979 appear in both Western and Arabic numerals below the arms. |
