Interesting fact
The 250 Shillings (Dachshund) 2006 coin from Somalia is a unique collector's item because it features a Dachshund dog on its obverse side, which is not a common design element for coins. The use of a Dachshund on the coin may have been a nod to the breed's popularity in Somalia or a way to showcase the country's cultural diversity. Additionally, the coin's silver plating and copper-nickel composition make it a valuable and durable collectible.
