| Obverse description | The Somali coat of arms is centrally displayed, featuring a shield with horizontal stripes and a five-pointed star, supported by two leopards rampant on either side, with crossed spears and an olive branch below. The date is divided by the arms, with '20' to the left and '15' to the right in the field. The legend 'SOMALI REPUBLIC' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '2.000 SHILLINGS' appears in the exergue below. A beaded inner border frames the central devices, with the reeded edge visible at the rim. |

| Reverse description | A large adult African elephant is depicted in high relief advancing toward the viewer, accompanied by a juvenile elephant to its lower left, conveying a naturalistic sense of depth and movement. Acacia trees occupy the left field, and a flock of birds in flight appears in the upper field against an open sky background. The legend 'AFRICAN WILDLIFE' arcs along the upper border, while 'ELEPHANT' is inscribed along the lower left periphery and '1 kg Ag 999.9' appears at the lower right. Bullet points and a beaded inner border separate the legends, and the overall composition is executed in finely detailed relief characteristic of the African Wildlife bullion series. |
