Additional information

Somaliland's unrecognized status — declared independent from Somalia in 1991 but acknowledged by no UN member state — means its coinage circulates domestically without ever achieving legal tender recognition abroad. The "Pig" series, issued for the Chinese zodiac market, was a deliberate export product targeting collectors rather than domestic commerce. The "Full leaves" designation distinguishes this die variety from the more commonly encountered reduced-leaf reverse, a distinction that emerged from mid-run die modifications at the striking facility.
