Reverse description A detailed rendering of a goat in profile, facing right, occupies the central field, with prominent curved horns and a shaggy coat rendered in fine relief. To the lower left of the animal appears the Chinese character for goat (羊), referencing the Chinese lunar zodiac. The inscription 'GOAT' is engraved below the central device, with the date '2000' beneath it. Surrounding the design along the periphery is a series of years denoting previous Years of the Goat in the Chinese calendar: '1907·1919·1931·1943·1955·1967·1979·1991·2003'.

Additional information

Somalia's post-1991 coinage exists in a legal and institutional vacuum. The central government collapsed with the fall of Siad Barre, and the Central Bank of Somalia had no functional authority over the territory by 2000 — yet coin production continued, contracted through foreign mints, largely for the collector and novelty market rather than genuine circulation. Most pieces from this period never reached Mogadishu.
