| 裏面の説明 | A detailed bust of the explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton faces slightly left, depicted wearing a military-style cap and high-collared uniform with characteristic moustache, rendered in a realistic engraved style. The legend 'RICHARD F. BURTON' arcs along the upper left of the field, while 'EXPLORATION OF SOMALILAND' curves along the upper right periphery. His birth and death years '1841' and '1904' appear in two lines to the lower left of the bust within the field. |

Richard Burton's 1854 expedition to Harar — the first by a European to enter the forbidden city and return alive — departed from Zeila, a port squarely within what is now Somaliland. The connection is genuinely geographic, not merely thematic. Somaliland issued this piece as a non-circulating legal tender novelty in the early years following its 1991 self-declared independence, a period when the territory was generating revenue through collector coins despite remaining unrecognized by any UN member state.
The X# designation confirms its listing in Unusual World Coins rather than the standard catalog — a common situation for Somaliland issues of this period.
