HISTORY Did Somalis mint gold coins?

I’ve been lurking around the internet trying to see if any of Somali sultanates minted gold coins specifically and not just silver or bronze. Some sources indicate they did but I don’t see anyone has it or discovered any yet. Do you guys know anything?

Aren't these Ajuuran coins? We minted our coins. These have been found in modern-day Iraq, Sri Lanka, and the Arabian Peninsula, highlighting the city’s role in Indian Ocean trade. Adal would have minted its coins as well; the trade was conducted by both these entities in the early 10th to 16th centuries.
