背面描述	A facing bust portrait of Nelson Mandela, depicted in suit and tie, occupies the central field of the reverse. The legend NELSON MANDELA arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded inner border. The series inscription MILLENNIUM ICONS curves along the lower field, with the date 2000 appearing in the exergue below the portrait. The portrait is rendered in a naturalistic relief style consistent with commemorative medallic coinage.

附加信息	Somalia's central authority had largely collapsed by 2000, and what remained of the transitional government was issuing commemorative coinage with virtually no connection to domestic circulation — these pieces were produced explicitly for the international collector market, minted under licensing arrangements with private European firms. Mandela's appearance on a Somali coin is geographically arbitrary; his 1999 retirement from the South African presidency made him a commercially viable subject for exactly this kind of opportunistic issue.
