关于 Somali Shilling
The Somali Shilling was introduced in 1962, replacing the East African Shilling at par. Due to decades of civil war, a central banking system largely ceased to function, and substantial amounts of counterfeit currency were printed.
The name 'Shilling' is derived from the East African Shilling, a currency introduced during the British colonial era.
