| Additional information |
Somalia's coinage authority had no meaningful connection to the British royal family — these pieces were struck under license arrangements common among small-island and nominal-state issuers farming out legal tender status to foreign mints targeting collector markets. The Queen Mother died in March 2002 at age 101, making this a posthumous or near-posthumous release depending on when dies were prepared.
