    I also picked this up for £6 or $12.
    However they usually sell for £12-15 ($24-$30)

    "CLASSIC ROCK N' ROLL LEGAL-TENDER $1 - One of the Most Unusual Coins You will Ever See!! Part of a series of six legal-tender ONE DOLLAR coins issued in 2004 by the Somali Republic, this coin is based on the world famous Stars & Stripes Flying V Electric Guitar, similar to the Guitar used by Rudolf Schenker of the Scorpions. The Coat of Arms and Denomination featured, with the Front beautifully hand enamelled, and they measure approx. 45mm from end to end. HAND ENAMELLING means there must be a tiny overall mintage of these unique coins."


    Just a fun coin to have as part of my collection.
    I'm sure it will put a smile of peoples faces when I show them my collection.
    Such a coin I bet would be of more interest to a non collector than a DMPL CC morgan.

    Since 2004 Somali have produced coins in the shape of fish and Harley Davidsons.
