The Cassa per la Circolazione Monetaria della Somalia was established under the Italian trusteeship administration of Somalia — formally the Amministrazione Fiduciaria Italiana della Somalia (AFIS), granted by the United Nations in 1950 for a fixed ten-year term ending at independence in 1960. This note is among the first issues under that arrangement, printed by the Istituto Poligrafico dello Stato, the Italian state printing works in Rome responsible for official government documents domestically as well.
Three signature combinations are recorded for P#14, reflecting successive administrative appointments across the decade of trusteeship — the Ciancimino/Inserra pairing being the latest and therefore the least commonly encountered.
