Interesting fact
The 25 Shillings (Emperor Hirohito) 2000 coin from Somalia is interesting because it features a portrait of Emperor Hirohito, who was the Emperor of Japan from 1926 until his death in 1989. This is unusual because Somalia and Japan have had limited historical ties, and it is rare to see a Japanese leader featured on a coin from an African country. Additionally, the coin's design, which includes a picture of the Emperor in a traditional Japanese robe, is quite different from the typical designs found on coins from Somalia, which often feature images of wildlife, landmarks, or national symbols.
