The popularity of the Somalia Silver Elephant coin is based upon the rotating designs used on the obverse each year. There is a new elephant design on the obverse of the coins with each new release, but the motif always remains focused on the African elephant in its natural habitat in Africa.

In this 2016 Somalia Silver Elephant African Wildlife Series Proof Prestige Set you’ll receive a total of four 2016 Proof Somalia Elephant coins. Included in this set are a 1/4 oz coin, 1/2 oz coin, 1 oz coin, and a 2 oz coin. The coin’s feature engravings of their individual face value and weight.

The obverse of the 2016 Somalia Silver Elephant Coins in this listing feature the 2016 design for the African Wildlife Series. The design includes a massive bull elephant standing along the banks of a river with its trunk raised in the air, and the sun (or moon) rising into the sky in the background.

On the reverse of the silver coins in the 2016 Somalia Silver Elephant African Wildlife Series Proof Prestige Set you’ll find the coat of arms for the nation of Somalia. It features a single star on a shield with a background of horizontal lines. The year of issue is engraved on this side of the coin.

All Somalia Silver Elephant coins are originally produced by the Bavarian State Mint. Owned by the state government of the Free State of Bavaria, the Bavarian State Mint is one of Germany’s four major mints and contributes to the production of Euros for use in the German economy.
