| Obverse description | The Somali national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield charged with a five-pointed star, supported by two leopards rampant, with crossed spears and palm fronds below. The date '2000' is split to either side of the shield, with '20' at left and '00' at right. The legend 'REPUBLIC of SOMALIA' arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination '150 SHILLINGS' is inscribed along the lower periphery. The design is framed by a beaded border running the full circumference of the coin. |
