| Beschrijving keerzijde | A central circular vignette, rendered in full polychrome colour, depicts a starling perched on a weathered broken branch or log, facing left, its iridescent dark plumage highlighted with metallic blue-green tones. The background shows foliage and a pale blue sky with clouds, evoking a naturalistic East African landscape. The legend WILDLIFE OF SOMALIA & EAST AFRICA arcs around the upper and lateral portions of the coin in raised Latin letters outside the coloured vignette. The date 1998 appears in the lower exergual area, flanked by two raised dots. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Somalia's 1990s wildlife series was issued during a period when the country had effectively ceased to function as a coherent state — the central government had collapsed in 1991, and no single authority controlled the territory. These coins were almost certainly produced under contract by a foreign mint for commercial sale to collectors rather than for any domestic monetary purpose, a practice common among several African states whose numismatic programs had more to do with hard currency revenue than with circulating coinage.
