Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but has never received formal international recognition, meaning its coinage — including this zodiac series — is issued by a central bank with no standing in global monetary institutions. The Aquarius pieces from this series were struck in multiple die varieties, most notably distinguished by leaf detail on the reverse wreath: "full leaves" versus a flatter, less defined alternative. The distinction matters for set completeness.
