Interesting fact
The 10 Shillings (Сock - empty leaves) 2012 coin from Somaliland features a unique design that showcases a cock standing on a pile of empty leaves. This design is significant because it represents the country's rich cultural heritage and tradition of raising livestock, particularly chickens, which are an important source of food and income for many Somalilanders. The coin's bimetallic composition, with a brass center in a copper-nickel ring, also adds to its unique character and makes it stand out among other coins.
