背面描述	The reverse displays a detailed high-relief rendering of the German tall ship Alexander von Humboldt under full sail, depicted in three-quarter view sailing on stylized waves. A flowing ribbon banner in the upper field carries the inscription 'ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT' in Latin script above the Arabic transliteration 'الكسندر فون هومبولدت'. The date '1998' is inscribed in the lower exergue beneath the vessel. The overall composition is rendered with fine engraving detail befitting the proof finish.

附加信息	Somalia's mid-1990s commemorative program had little to do with Somalia. The country had no functioning central government following the collapse of the Barre regime in 1991, and these issues were produced entirely for the international collector market by outside licensing arrangements — the Somali name on the coin being largely nominal. Humboldt spent five years, 1799–1804, traversing South America and New Spain, generating some 60,000 plant specimens and the foundational data for modern physical geography. His connection to any Somali issuing authority is nonexistent.
