Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1970 Somalia 50 Shillings (Revolution) gold coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 10th anniversary of the Somali Revolution, which took place on July 26, 1960. The coin's obverse side depicts a portrait of President Mohamed Siad Barre, who led the revolution and served as the country's president until 1991. The reverse side shows a scene of a crowd of people gathered around a large flag, symbolizing the unity and independence of Somalia. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
