| Additional information |
Part of Somalia's extended series of wildlife-themed coinage produced through the late 1990s and early 2000s, these pieces were almost certainly not intended for domestic circulation — Somalia had no functioning central government at the time, and coin distribution infrastructure had effectively collapsed following the fall of Siad Barre's regime in 1991. Production was contracted to foreign mints targeting the collector market, a common arrangement among nominal issuing authorities with no practical monetary system to maintain.
