| Obverse description | The central field displays the Somali national coat of arms, featuring a quartered shield bearing a central five-pointed star, supported on either side by two standing leopards facing inward. Below the shield, crossed palm fronds and a scroll ornament form the base of the achievement. The date 2016 is split across the lower field flanking the supporters, with '20' to the left and '16' to the right. The legend 'SOMALI REPUBLIC' curves along the upper periphery in large Latin capitals, while the denomination '100 SHILLINGS' is inscribed along the lower rim. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |

| Reverse description | A selectively gold-gilded African elephant is depicted in high relief, advancing to the left with trunk raised in a trumpeting posture amid tall savannah grasses. In the left mid-field, a large stylized sun or moon disc is rendered in matte finish against the polished field, with acacia trees visible in the background. The legend 'AFRICAN WILDLIFE' arcs along the upper border, with 'ELEPHANT' inscribed along the lower left periphery. The fineness and weight notation '1 oz Ag 999.9' appears along the lower right border. Bullet separators punctuate the legends, and the reeded edge is visible on the rim. |
