| Obverse description | The national arms of the Republic of Somalia are displayed centrally, featuring a shield bearing horizontal lines and a five-pointed star, surmounted by a mural crown with battlements. Two leopards serving as supporters flank the shield on either side, with a ribbon and crossed spear and palm branches below. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF SOMALIA' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '250 SHILLINGS' is inscribed along the lower periphery. The entire design is framed by a fine beaded border. |

This piece belongs to a wave of commemorative silver issues released by Somalia throughout the late 1990s — a period when the country had no functioning central government. The coins were authorized and distributed entirely through foreign licensing arrangements, with no meaningful connection to Somali monetary infrastructure. The Royal Wedding in question is that of Infanta Elena of Spain to Jaime de Marichalar, which took place in Seville on March 18, 1995.
