| Additional information |
Somalia's wildlife series coinage of the 2010s was produced under licensing arrangements common to many nominal issuers — the coins were almost certainly struck by a European mint on contract, with Somalia lending its name to a collectible series rather than producing coins for domestic circulation. The shilling had long ceased to function as a practical currency by this point, the country having gone without a functioning central bank for over two decades following the 1991 collapse of the Barre government.
