| Additional information |
Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but remains unrecognized by any UN member state, meaning its coinage has no international monetary standing whatsoever. The Bank of Somaliland issues these pieces largely for the collector market rather than genuine circulation demand. The zodiac series to which this belongs was produced in multiple variants — the "full leaves" designation distinguishes this die pairing from a companion issue with differing reverse foliage detail, a distinction that matters primarily to type collectors working the complete set.
