The Somalia Silver Elephant coin is one of the fastest growing coin series in the world in terms of popularity. Struck by the Bavarian State Mint with a unique design feature on the obverse each year, these coins are coveted both for their silver content and their new designs. Right now, JM Bullion proudly offers the all-new 2016 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant Coin.
Coin Highlights:
African Elephants first appeared on the African Wildlife coin series in 1999 for the nation of Zambia. In 2004, the nation of issue was switched to the country of Somalia, which is located along the Horn of Africa. Since that time, the coin has been released on behalf of Somalia with new designs annually on the obverse, and the coat of arms on the reverse.
The African Elephant is the world’s largest land mammal. For decades, elephants were hunted to the brink of extinction, due in large part to the value of the ivory in their tusks. Today, efforts are underway to protect the elephant, and the African Wildlife Series calls attention to those efforts by featuring the massive beasts on the obverse.
On the obverse side of the 2016 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant is the latest imagery of the African Elephant in the series. Engravings include the words “African Wildlife,” “Elephant,” and the coin’s weight, metal content, and purity.
The reverse side always features the coat of arms for the nation of Somalia. A pair of leopards are hold up a heraldic shield, which features a background of horizontal lines with a single star in the center. The coin’s year of minting is split with two digits on either side of the shield, the words “Somali Republic” are engraved above, and the face value is featured below.
Bavarian State Mint is one of Germany’s five state-owned mint, and is controlled by the Free State of Bavaria. Founded in Munich in 1158, it is one of Europe’s oldest facilities.

"Stunning beautiful coin. Just ordered 20 more."
"The 2016 Somalian Elephant is a beautiful coin as are it's predecessors. Mine arrived in great condition, shiny and seemingly flawless- but this is not why I'm writing this review. This is my 35th order from JM Bullion. No problems with any of them but this order arrived 49 hours after I placed it! I was very surprised to find this in my mailbox today. Nevada to Florida in 2 days. This must be a fluke because it usually takes 3 days. Great job on the shipping guys! Thank you."
"The coin looks proof to me. It came with the finest 20 roll holder I have ever seen. The tube was very heavy and sturdy. I am glad I bought them."
"Get them at the reduced price while you can. The photo does not do this coin justice, beautiful."
"fantastic coin this is way better than i imagined beautiful detail & awesome shine. very fast shipping!!!"
"I ordered this item one night and 2 days later received it in the mail. It had to cross the width of the US and it made it to my door that fast. This is the 2nd order this month and both were to me in 2 days time, not counting the night I ordered it. Shipping is fast and on time. The coin itself is shiny, with no blemishes and BU condition. I love the look of the coin and it seems to grow in value when looking at past Elephant coins. You won't be disappointed with this purchase. I have ordered many times with no complaints, great job and keep up the lowest prices around, at least for what I buy."
"Can't wait for my order to arrive. My favorite bullion coin coming from my favorite dealer for a great price. Always great to work with and the e-check payment option is great."
"Just received 4 of these. Beautiful coins!!! Great addition to my collection. Highly polished and intricate detail."
"Beautiful, high quality coin from the best dealer in the business! I received my order within 5 days from purchase. Thanks JMB!"
"I usually buy silver rounds for the content of silver only, but when these went on sale I couldn't pass them up and I'm glad I didn't wait. The coins are absolutely stunning. The strike is beautiful and the coins are certainly top notch in terms of quality. Never disappointed with anything from JM Bullion!"
