| Additional information |
Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but has never received international recognition, leaving it in a legal grey zone that nonetheless hasn't stopped its administration from issuing coins — largely as numismatic products for the collector market rather than circulating currency. This piece appeared in the wake of the 1997 James Cameron film, a moment when Titanic imagery was licensed aggressively across every conceivable merchandise category.
The X# prefix in the reference confirms its status outside mainstream circulation coinage.
