| Obverse description | The central vignette presents the Goodirka building in Hargeisa — the former House of Representatives at the time of Somaliland's declaration of independence and current headquarters of the Supreme Court — rendered in fine intaglio line work against a tinted underprint. A secondary vignette of a kudu antelope appears alongside the principal architectural motif. Surrounding inscriptions in Somali, Arabic, and English identify the issuing authority and denomination. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette portrays a camel caravan in procession, with two nomadic figures accompanying three camels rendered in detailed line engraving. Rising in the background are the twin peaks of the Naasa Hablood hills — the landmark formation near Hargeisa known locally as 'Girl's Breast' — lending a distinctly regional character to the composition. Inscriptions in Somali, Arabic, and English border the design. |
