| Additional information |
Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 following the collapse of the Siad Barre regime, but no UN member state has ever formally recognized it. Its coins are legal tender within its own borders by domestic decree, though they circulate primarily as collectibles rather than in any genuine monetary capacity. The Year of the Dragon issue was produced for the international collector market, a revenue strategy Somaliland has relied on heavily given its exclusion from international financial institutions.
