| Obverse description | The copper-nickel center displays the national coat of arms of Somalia in high relief, featuring a light blue shield bearing a central five-pointed star, supported by two leopards rampant as flanking supporters, surmounted by a mural crown, and adorned below with two crossed palm fronds tied by a ribbon. The legend REPUBLIC OF SOMALIA arcs along the upper periphery of the brass outer ring, while the denomination 250 SHILLINGS is inscribed along the lower periphery. A beaded border separates the inner field from the outer ring on both sides. |

| Reverse description | The copper-nickel center presents a vivid full-color applied depiction of a small bird, rendered in rufous-brown and black tones, perched upon a diagonal branch with green foliage against a blue sky with white clouds. The colored scene fills the entire inner disc and is executed in a naturalistic style characteristic of wildlife commemorative issues. The legend WILDLIFE OF SOMALIA & EAST AFRICA arcs along the upper portion of the brass outer ring, with the date 1998 inscribed at the base, flanked by small dot separators. A beaded border frames the junction between the inner and outer elements. |
