| Additional information |
Somaliland has issued its own coinage since 1994 despite remaining unrecognized by any UN member state. The Ara rubrogenys — the red-billed chough — appears as part of a wildlife series that has become the primary vehicle through which Somaliland asserts practical sovereignty, circulating domestically in a territory whose political status remains entirely frozen.
