Somalia's numismatic output in the 2010s was largely the work of foreign licensing arrangements, with this series produced for the collector market rather than any domestic monetary purpose. The "Mythical Creatures" program was issued under Somali authority in name only — a common arrangement among low-infrastructure states whose nominal sovereignty over coin specifications generates licensing revenue without involving a functioning central bank.
Gold-plated copper-nickel at this weight points squarely at the European novelty mint trade, circa 2013.
