This striking 2013 Somalia Silver Elephant Coin is the 15th piece to be released from the Bavarian Mint’s exclusive African Wildlife Coin series. The series first debuted in 1999, under the commission of the Somali government. Each individual piece has been exquisitely crafted from 1 troy oz of .999 fine silver, giving it a legally tender face value of 100 shillings. It measures 39 mm in diameter and 3 mm in width. Because all silver coins included in this collection are guaranteed to be in newly minted condition, every order will arrive carefully packaged in either a protective plastic wrapping or original tubes of 20 from the Bavarian Mint.
Coin Highlights:
The obverse of the coin features a family of elephants, including a young calf, gathering by a river to quench their thirst. From the creases of their long trunks to the texture of their tough hide, resident artists have made a great effort to provide a detailed rendering of these playful pachyderms. Equally as detailed is the terrain of their African savanna home, such as the Baobab trees which are so predominant in this area of the continent. Lastly, serving s a final touch, the words “African Wildlife” and “Elephant” have been inscribed along the border, accompanied by the coin’s weight and purity.
The reverse side of the coin speaks to the pride and heritage of the Somali people with an artistic rendition of the country’s coat of arms. This iconic emblem depicts a shield upheld by a pair of leopards. Decorating the shield is a single star, the same one that appears on the nation’s flag. Supporting the leopards are a pair of crossed palm leaves and spears, both of which have been intertwined by a ribbon. Also incorporated into the design of the reverse side are the coin’s denomination, mintage year and country of origin.
Whether as a unique investment piece or a gift for the world traveler, the 2013 Somalia Silver Elephant Coin is a charming addition to any existing collection.
