| Additional information |
Somalia's wildlife coin program has run for decades under licensing arrangements with European minting houses — most notably Bosphorus Minting in the Netherlands — with the Central Bank of Somalia lending its legal issuing authority to products designed primarily for the bullion collector market rather than domestic circulation. These pieces never reached Mogadishu.
The leopard entered the series in 2019, joining the elephant issues that had anchored the program since the 1990s.
