The central vignette presents the Goodirka building in Hargeisa — formerly the House of Representatives at the time of Somaliland's declaration of independence and now the seat of the Supreme Court — rendered in fine-line intaglio engraving. A kudu antelope appears as a secondary vignette within the composition. Inscriptions in Somali, English, and Arabic encircle the design, with the denomination expressed in both numeral and text form. |

The central field is occupied by a camel caravan vignette in which two nomadic figures accompany three camels across an arid landscape, with the twin Naasa Hablood hills — a celebrated landmark on the outskirts of Hargeisa, locally known as 'Girl's Breast' — rising in the background rendered in a soft tonal style. The bank name and denomination appear in Somali, English, and Arabic script. |

Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991, but no government has ever formally recognized it — which created an unusual monetary situation. The shilling it issues has no legal status outside its own borders and is not convertible on any international market, yet the Baanka Somaliland has maintained a functioning note-issuing operation for decades. The P#7 series ran across six years, suggesting steady reissue rather than a single print run, likely managed to control inflation in a largely cash-based economy with no access to international banking infrastructure.
Printed quantities for Somaliland notes are better documented than for many recognized states — a consequence of the territory's reliance on external transparency to lend its institutions credibility.
