or SLSH; symbol: /-) is the official currency of the Republic of Somaliland, an unrecognised state in the Horn of Africa, recognised internationally as de jure part of Somalia.

In September 1994, the Parliament of Somaliland endorsed President Egal's plans to introduce a new currency to replace the Somali shilling.

The Somali shilling ceased to be accepted as legal tender in Somaliland on 31 January 1995.

In 2002, 2/- and 5/- coins were issued, bearing depictions of explorer Sir Richard Burton and a cockerel, respectively.

The Sl.Sh.10/- coin obverse depicts a vervet monkey,[7] around which the words "REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND 2002" are inscribed.

The obverse of the 20/- coin depicts an Italian Greyhound and has the words "REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND 2002" inscribed around it.

In 1996, banknotes were overprinted with the phrase "5th Anniversary of Independence 18 May 1996 Sanad Gurada 5ee Gobanimadda 18 May 1996" in bronze/gold letters, or "Sanad Gurada 5ee Gobanimadda 18 May 1996" in silver letters to commemorate the fifth anniversary of de facto independence.
