Interesting fact

The 10,000 Shillings (Oryx dammah) coin from Somalia, minted in 1998, is a non-circulating coin made of silver (.999) and weighs 15 grams. Despite its high silver content and unique design, the coin is not widely recognized or circulated due to the political instability and lack of a functional central bank in Somalia at the time of its minting. As a result, the coin's value and authenticity may be difficult to verify, and it may not be widely accepted or traded in the numismatic market.
