Descrizione del rovescio	A muscular figure of Aquarius, the Water-bearer, depicted in classical style occupying the central field, shown pouring water from a large urn held aloft in both hands. Twelve small stars are evenly distributed around the periphery of the coin. The legend 'AQUARIUS' curves along the upper rim, and the date '2012' appears in the lower exergue, flanked by star ornaments.

Informazioni aggiuntive	The "empty leaves" designation distinguishes this from the more common Aquarius issue in the same series, referring to a die variation in which the decorative foliage elements were struck without the finer interior detail — most likely a result of a working die that had not received its full hub transfer. Somaliland's coinage program has always operated at the margins: an unrecognized state issuing currency for a functional but diplomatically invisible economy, with production contracted to foreign mints under circumstances rarely documented in standard references.
