Each of the 2017 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant coins in this product listing is a near-perfect coin according to the NGC. Coins with an MS69 grade have full, original mint luster and a maximum of two minor detracting flaws. Those flaws include miniscule contact marks or hairlines, and are located outside the primary focal areas of the coin.
Early Release coins are from a distinct time period in the release of 2017 Somalia Silver Elephants. These coins had to arrive at the NGC or an approved third-party depository within the first 30 days of the release date set by the Bavarian State Mint.
On the obverse of the 2017 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant Coin you’ll find the newest elephant design from the mint. It features a large elephant in the foreground with its trunk raised slightly. In the background you’ll see a small traditional hut with grass roof, and a single palm tree rising above it.
The reverse of the Somalia Silver Elephant coin features the coat of arms of Somalia. This image includes a heraldic shield with a single star on, with a background of horizontal lines. There are leopards on either side of the crest, with crossing spears below it.
All Somalia Silver Elephant coins are a product of the Bavarian State Mint. Opened in 1158, the mint is part of Germany’s historic silver mining. Today the mint is part of the German national minting system and is owned by the state government of the Free State of Bavaria.
