| Obverse description | Central field bears the arms of Somaliland: a balance scale flanked by two olive branches, with a handshake motif at the base and an Arabic inscription above, all within a beaded inner circle. Surrounding the central device is a ring of the twelve zodiac symbols in relief. The curved legend BAANKA SOMALILAND arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 10 SHILLINGS appears along the lower periphery, both in raised Latin lettering. |

| Additional information |
Somaliland's zodiac series, issued across multiple years from the early 2000s, was produced for the international collector market rather than domestic circulation — Somaliland's self-declared independence from Somalia in 1991 has never received formal international recognition, giving its coinage an unusual legal ambiguity. The "empty leaves" variant of the Gemini type is a die variation distinguished by the absence of filled detail in the wreath elements, a production inconsistency rather than an intentional design change.
