| Reverse description | The reverse features the denomination 1 SOMALO inscribed in two lines at the centre of the field, surrounded by a beaded inner circle. The legend ROMA - 1950 curves along the upper portion of the outer field in Latin capitals, denoting the mint city and date of issue. An Arabic inscription arcs along the lower portion of the outer field, reading ضرب في روما سنة ١٣٦٩ (meaning 'Struck in Rome, year 1369' in the Islamic Hijri calendar), reflecting the bilingual character of the territory. The design is framed by a reeded edge and an outer beaded border, giving the reverse a clean and formal appearance. |
