| Obverse description | The Somali national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a heraldic shield bearing horizontal stripes and a five-pointed star at its centre, flanked by two leopards rampant serving as supporters, with a scroll and palm fronds at the base. The circular legend SOMALI REPUBLIC arcs across the upper periphery, while the denomination 1000 SHILLINGS is inscribed along the lower border. The design is rendered in milled relief against a flat field, bordered by a continuous inner ring of beading. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylised cartographic depiction of the Indian Ocean basin, showing the outlines of the surrounding landmasses including the African continent, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia in raised relief against the field. Superimposed over the ocean area is a series of concentric seismic wave rings emanating from an epicentre point, symbolising the catastrophic earthquake and resulting tsunami of 26 December 2004. The curved legend INDIAN OCEAN - EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI arcs around the upper periphery, while the commemorative date 26. DECEMBER 2004 is inscribed along the lower border. |
