| Obverse description | The central field of the inner disc features the crowned royal cypher of Queen Elizabeth II — the interlaced 'E II R' monogram surmounted by a Tudor crown — rendered in high relief against a polished background. The birth year '1926' appears to the left of the monogram and the commemorative year '2016' to the right, flanking the cypher. The denomination '2500 SHILLINGS' is inscribed in the lower portion of the inner disc. The outer ring carries the legend '90TH BIRTHDAY OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II' along the upper arc and 'VIVAT REGINA' at mid-field, with the issuing authority 'BAANKA SOMALILAND' along the lower arc. |

| Additional information |
Somaliland's unrecognized status — it declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but has never received UN membership — means its central bank issues currency that functions domestically but holds no standing in international exchange. Collector-targeted commemorative issues like this one are a significant revenue stream precisely because that status creates no obligation to back the coins with convertible reserves. Elizabeth II had no formal connection to Somaliland or Somalia.
