Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by Somalia, a country that did not participate in the XVIII Winter Olympics held in Nagano, Japan in 1998. Despite this, the coin still features the official logo of the Olympics on its reverse side. This highlights the fact that some countries may issue commemorative coins for events they are not directly involved in, as a way of generating revenue or promoting their national interests.
