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.

"I cannot stop looking at this coin! The pictures do it no justice, the coin is stunning to look at in person. Please go to YouTube and look at videos where you can actually see the coin - you won't be disappointed! With the spot price being low, I couldn't resist - and JMBullion pulled through and gave me a gorgeous quality coin. Might have to grab a few more.... who knows?!? Thanks, again, JMBullion."
"I picked up a couple of Somali Elephants when they were on sale. These are great looking coins and the price was amazing. I will be getting some more of these in the future"
"Great way to stack silver. Low premium. Low mintage. Wait until the public discovers these beauties."
"These coins are truly beautiful! I had the opportunity to get them on sale! God bless JMBullion!"
"Great place to order gold and silver"
"I have been buying silver from JM Bullion for about a year. The products and service has been outstanding.."
"I have purchased this coin several times and it's one of my favorites (gold & silver) as it is thicker than most other ounce coins, and the quality is impeccable even better than my maple leafs and eagles. JMB always comes through and even though I use paper checks to save money the delay is not too long."
"I just completed my first roll of the 2016 Somalian silver elephants. These coins are in beautiful condition with a sharp and crisp strike. JM Bullion was very quick as usual to get my order shipped. I got my order in a record 2 days. Great job JMB! I will be back again and again."
"I purchased my first Somalian Silver Elephant (2015) last year as a gift for my wife, as she loves elephants. I was extremely impressed with this coin. Based on that I ordered this coin (2016) and it looks even better. Very well done with a nice crisp strike. This is a great price for a very nice gov issued ounce of silver. I am looking forward to the 2017 coming out."
"I have to say this is one of my best looking coins, I rate it up there with some of my 2 oz ultra high relief coins but there not government issued like this one. Once again JM had the best prices out there for this coin and believe me I shop for the best deals daily, and the 9999 is just another plus for this beauty. Once again great job JM Bullion ( 5 star seller )"
