Interesting fact
The 1998 Somalia 25 Shillings Titanic coin is unique because it was issued to commemorate the sinking of the Titanic, even though Somalia had no direct connection to the ship or its passengers. It was one of several commemorative coins issued by Somalia in the 1990s as a way to generate revenue and attract collectors. Despite its limited mintage, the coin is not particularly valuable, and it is considered a novelty item rather than a serious collector's item.
