Interesting fact

The 250 Shillings (Royal Wedding Cristina and Inaki) 1998 coin from Somalia made of Silver weighing 23g is a unique collector's item, as it was minted to commemorate the royal wedding between Princess Cristina of Spain and Inaki Urdangarin, Duke of Palma de Mallorca, which took place on October 4, 1997. The coin features an image of the couple on one side and the Somali coat of arms on the other. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted in a country that was not the country of the couple's origin, which adds to its rarity and uniqueness.
