Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1000 Shillings (Queen Victoria) 2001 coin from Somalia made of Gold (.375) is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Victoria on one side and the Somali coat of arms on the other. This coin is a non-circulating commemorative coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency but rather as a collectible item. Its gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
