| Additional information |
Somaliland, unrecognized by the United Nations and lacking formal diplomatic ties with virtually every nation on earth, has since the mid-1990s issued commemorative coinage as a soft-power tool and a foreign-currency revenue stream — none of it intended for domestic circulation. This piece, marking Elizabeth II's 90th birthday, invokes her role as Queen of Ceylon, a title she held only from her accession in 1952 until Ceylon became a republic in 1972.
