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 Panthera Tigris 5 Shillings coin from Somaliland features an image of a tiger on its obverse side, which is unusual for a coin from Africa, as tigers are not native to the continent. This design choice was likely made to highlight the importance of conservation efforts for endangered species like the tiger, which is a symbol of power and strength in many cultures.
