| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the Coat of Arms of Somalia, depicting two leopards flanking a shield bearing a five-pointed star, set above an ornamental base with crossed palm fronds. The legend SOMALI REPUBLIC arcs across the upper portion of the rectangular flan, while the denomination 25 SHILLINGS and the date 2013 appear in the lower field. The entire design is rendered in gold-plated relief against a black enameled background, giving the piece a bold, contrasting appearance. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
