Somalia 2008 3-D Coins

Somalia 2008 3-D Coins

In 2008, Somalia issued the first 3-D coins to commemorate geometric shapes in mathematics: from left to right, the Pyramid, the Cube, the Orb, the Cylinder, and the Cone.  The coins were made of copper nickel and silver-plated, have a denomination of $1, and bear the Coat of Arms of Somalia.   The coins proved so popular with collectors that the set was re-issued in 2014.   Mintage figures of both sets are unknown.
