| Obverse description | The Somali Republic coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a heraldic shield supported by two leopards rampant, the shield bearing horizontal lines with a five-pointed star at centre and surmounted by a mural crown. Below the shield, a crossed spear and palm branches are rendered in relief. The legend SOMALI REPUBLIC arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, the date 2007 appears divided on either side of the design, and the denomination 100 SHILLINGS is inscribed along the lower arc. |

| Additional information |
Somalia's elephant bullion series, launched in the early 2000s, was produced under licensing arrangements with European minting houses rather than any functioning Somali state apparatus — the country had no effective central government at the time. The coins are legal tender in name only, issued against a nominal face value by transitional authorities whose practical reach rarely extended beyond Mogadishu's contested streets.
KM#182 is the 2007 installment. Mintage figures for this series have never been reliably published by a central issuing authority, which complicates registry population data considerably.
