| Additional information |
Somalia had no functioning central government in 2002 — the state had collapsed in 1991 and would not see a reconstituted federal authority until 2012. Coins issued under the "Somalia" name during this period were produced by private minting firms, primarily for the novelty and collector market, with no meaningful circulation in the country itself.
