| Obverse description | The obverse features the Somali national coat of arms prominently displayed in the center, depicting a light blue shield bearing a white five-pointed star, supported on either side by two leopards rampant, with crossed palm branches at the base surmounted by a mural crown. The trimetallic construction is evident, with the brass core presenting the central device, the copper-nickel middle ring forming a contrasting annular band, and the brass outer ring carrying the peripheral legend. The legend REPUBLIC OF SOMALIA arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination 250 SHILLINGS appears along the lower rim, all within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color enameled depiction of a glossy starling perched on a weathered branch or log, rendered in iridescent blue-green and dark plumage tones against a naturalistic background of green foliage and a blue sky with clouds, applied to the brass inner core. The copper-nickel middle ring provides a plain circular frame separating the colored central scene from the brass outer ring. The legend WILDLIFE OF SOMALIA & EAST AFRICA arcs around the upper portion of the outer ring, while the date 1998 appears at the base, all within a beaded border. |
