10 Shillings Cancer - empty leaves

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.
