Interesting fact

The 25 Shillings coin from Somalia featuring a Pope in a multi-colored cloak, made of silver, is a unique and rare collector's item. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued in 2004 to commemorate the visit of Pope John Paul II to Somalia, which was a significant event in the country's history. The coin's design features the Pope in a colorful cloak, surrounded by an ornate border, and the reverse side features the Somali coat of arms. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
