| Additional information |
Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but has never received formal international recognition, leaving the Bank of Somaliland to operate as a functioning central bank for a state that does not officially exist in international law. The shilling series issued in the mid-2000s was a practical assertion of administrative normalcy — the territory was running courts, issuing passports, and collecting taxes regardless of what the UN recognized.
KM#18 is part of a zodiac-themed circulation series, an unusual choice for a predominantly Muslim population and one that generated some local criticism at the time of issue.
