Somaliland's coinage occupies an unusual position in numismatics — the territory has functioned as a self-governing state since 1991, but its international non-recognition means Baanka Somaliland issues circulate domestically without acceptance as legal tender by any foreign government. The "Full leaves" designation distinguishes this die variety from the more common reduced-leaf reverse, a distinction meaningful enough to collectors that the two are catalogued separately under KM#95.
