10 Shillings Rabbit, Full leaves

Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but remains unrecognized by any UN member state, making the Bank of Somaliland's authority to issue coinage a matter of political curiosity rather than international legal standing. These coins circulate domestically by practical necessity and local acceptance, not treaty or recognition. The rabbit series, part of a broader wildlife coinage program, was almost certainly produced by a European or Asian contract mint rather than any facility within Somaliland itself.
