Comment

After the collapse of the government of Somalia in the 1990's, the northern portion of the country, once known as British Somaliland, declared independence. Despite the lack of international recognition, it has one of the better functioning governments in Africa.

Interesting fact

The Eolophus Roseicapilla, also known as the Somali rose-ringed parakeet, is a species of parrot that is endemic to Somaliland. The coin's design features an image of this bird, which is known for its distinctive pink and grey plumage. The coin's brass composition and 4.9g weight also make it a unique and collectible item for numismatists.
