| Additional information |
Puntland is a semi-autonomous region of Somalia that has issued coins despite lacking international recognition as a sovereign state, a legal gray area that places these pieces firmly in the "fantasy" or "exonumia" category for most serious collectors. No central banking authority with recognized standing produced this issue.
The Iberian lynx, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has no geographic or political connection to the Horn of Africa.
