All coins are ready to ship in brilliant uncirculated condition and will arrive in either a sealed plastic sleeve or an official tube of 20 from the Bavarian Mint.
Coin Highlights:
Prominently showcased on the front of the coin is a bull elephant, trudging through the tall grass of the African plains, perhaps in search of a tree for shelter from the scorching heat. In the distance, viewers can observe another member of its herd, accompanied by its young calf. From the curved shapes of their tusks to texture of their wrinkled hide, wildlife enthusiasts will undoubtedly appreciate the realistic portrayal of this pachyderm trio, as well as the accurate rendition of their native African habitat. Such details are enough to make them feel though they were actually viewing such creatures up close on a safari or at a wildlife preserve. Also engraved unto the front of the coin are its vital information including its, weight, purity, and series' title.
The reverse side of the coin offers a moving tribute to the Somali people with an artistic interpretation of their national coat of arms. This beloved emblem depicts a shield, decorated by the single five-pointed star of their country's flag. The shield is upheld by a pair of leopards, that are supported by a set of crossed palm fronds and spears. Printed along the outer edge of the coin are its mintage year, denomination and country of origin.
With its impressive composition and striking artwork, the 2014 Somalia Silver Elephant Coin is suitable as both an investment piece and a charming collectible.
