Comment
The coloured picture is encapsulated by either glass or hardened plasticInteresting fact
The 25 Shillings coin from Somalia featuring a Pope in a multi-colored cloak, made of copper-nickel and weighing 28.98g, is an interesting collector's item. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was issued in 2004, despite Somalia not having a functioning government or central bank at the time. The coin was minted by a private company, which raises questions about its legitimacy and value as a collector's item.
