| Additional information |
Somaliland's wildlife coinage series — issued for the international collector market rather than domestic circulation — reflects the territory's unusual position: internationally unrecognized since its 1991 declaration of independence from Somalia, yet operating a functioning government, currency, and central bank. These pieces were never intended to pass hands in Hargeisa.
The "Full leaves" designation distinguishes this die variety from a parallel issue with sparser foliage detail, a distinction that emerged from collector documentation rather than any official mint classification.
