| Reverse description | The reverse displays a detailed relief of a rhinoceros standing in left profile, occupying the central field with a naturalistic rendering of the animal's characteristic horns and heavy body. A faint ground line runs beneath the figure, anchoring the composition. The denomination TEN SHILLINGS is inscribed along the lower periphery in Latin script, and the design is framed by a beaded border at the rim. |

| Additional information |
Somalia's Central Bank has issued a long-running series of small steel coins aimed squarely at the collector market rather than domestic circulation — the country's actual transactional economy has relied on the Somali shilling in paper form, with coinage playing almost no role in daily commerce since the state's collapse in 1991. These pieces are produced under licensing arrangements and physically minted outside Somalia entirely.
