Interesting fact

The 250 Shillings (Elizabeth I) 2003 coin from Somalia made of Silver is a unique piece, as it features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth I, who never actually ruled Somalia. The coin was issued as a commemorative piece to honor the 50th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's coronation, even though Somalia gained independence from Italy in 1960 and has had its own government since then. This unusual choice of design reflects the complex history and cultural influences of Somalia.
