These Somalia Silver Elephant coins are part of the larger African Wildlife Series. Originally struck for the nation of Zambia, beginning in 2004 the African Elephant coin was issued on behalf of the nation of Somalia. Since that time, a new design has been created and released on the obverse face of each coin.
While the bullion coin is popular among investors, the high-relief proof version generates immense interest each year. A high-relief proof is produced by striking blanks multiple times under immense pressure to create a design field that stands out from the background. The Bavarian State Mint strictly limits the mintage of these high-relief proofs, adding value to the products for collectors.
On the obverse face is the depiction of a family of elephants at the water’s edge. In the background there is a lone tree rising up toward the sky. The typical engravings identifying the coin series, animal represented, and the coin’s identifying features are included on the obverse.
The reverse of each 2013 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant High-Relief Proof bears the coat of arms for Somalia. Engravings include “Somali Republic,” the year of issue, and the face value of the coin.
