| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Somaliland occupies the central field, depicted with open or unadorned leaves. Surrounding the central device, between two concentric circles, are all twelve zodiac symbols arranged in sequence. The legend 'BAANKA SOMALILAND' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '10 SHILLINGS' appears below the central device. |

| Additional information |
The Somaliland shilling series featuring zodiac imagery was produced for a territory whose independence remains unrecognized by any UN member state — the Bank of Somaliland issues currency for a functioning if diplomatically isolated administration that declared separation from Somalia in 1991. The "empty leaves" designation on this Cancer piece refers to a die variant with unfilled leaf detailing, distinguishing it from the standard strike within the same KM type.
