| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Somali national coat of arms displayed centrally in the field, featuring a shield bearing a five-pointed star flanked by two leopards rampant acting as supporters, with crossed spear and olive branches beneath. A decorative crenellated chief surmounts the shield. The legend SOMALI REPUBLIC arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 250 SHILLINGS appears along the lower periphery, all separated by raised dots. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Somalia's relationship with Pope John Paul II coinage is purely commercial — these were struck by a European mint for the collector market, with Somalia's nominal issuing authority serving as little more than a legal convenience. The country had no functioning central government in 2005, making the "issuing authority" essentially a licensing arrangement.
John Paul II died on April 2, 2005, generating an immediate wave of commemorative coinage globally. This piece was almost certainly produced and distributed within months of his death.
