    The African Wildlife Series of silver, gold, and platinum bullion and proof coins are some of the most interesting and unique in the world. There is a new design on the obverse side of the coin each year, adding to the inherent value of the .9999 purity of the precious metals. Today, the 2017 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant coin is available online today at JM Bullion.

    Coin Highlights:

    • Ships in a plastic slab to protect the coin’s condition.
    • 14th design of the African Wildlife Series.
    • Contains 1 Troy oz of .9999 pure silver.
    • Face value of 100 Somali Shillings.
    • Graded Mint State 70 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation.
    • Early Release designation.
    • Obverse features the 2017 African Elephant design.
    • Reverse includes the Somali coat of arms.

    African Wildlife Series elephant design coins began life as the Zambian Elephant series. These coins were released by the Bavarian State Mint from 1999 to 2003, before switching to the nation of Somalia as a bullion and proof issue.

    The coins have long been popular because of the new design on the obverse each year. That’s not the only changes that have occurred over time though. The purity of the silver coins was boosted from .999 to .9999 in 2016, and a platinum version of the coin was added in 2016, as well.

    On the obverse of the 2017 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant coin you’ll find the image of the newest African Elephant design. The fourteenth design used in the series, it features an African elephant in the foreground amidst the grasses of the savanna, with a traditional thatch-roof hut in the background and a small palm tree.

    The reverse of all Somalia Silver Elephant coins includes the image of the national crest. The Somalia coat of arms includes a heraldic shield in the middle with a single star on it, similar to the national flag. Engravings on this face include the nation of issue, year of issue, and face value of the coin.

    Each of these 2017 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant Coins has a Mint State 70 grade, which is considered perfect by the NGC. Coins with an MS70 grade have full, original mint luster and bear no detracting flaws of any kind. An ER designation stands for Early Release, and means these coins were received by the NGC for certification within the first 30 days of their release date as set by the Bavarian State Mint.

    Opened in Munich in 1158, the Bavarian State Mint is one of Europe’s oldest operating facilities. A state-owned entity of the Free State of Bavaria, the mint is one of Germany’s primary minting facilities.

    We recommend you refuse any shipment that appears to be damaged or tampered with as the shipping insurance ends once signed for and/or delivered. When refused, the package(s) will return to JM Bullion for inspection.

    When you will receive your order depends primarily on three factors

    1. When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).
      • Please note that you will receive a Paid email once your payment is received.
    2. Holding period after cleared payment.
      • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
    3. Shipping method and transit time.
      • UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
      • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.
    What happens if my order is lost in transit?+

    All packages shipped by JM Bullion are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

    Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.

If you pay with paper check, bank wire, ACH, Ethereum, Ripple, or bitcoin, you may have your order shipped wherever you please, with two exceptionsUPS locations and mail forwarding locations.

If you would like to upgrade your shipping, you may choose one of the other options for a small fee. Simply click on the circle next to the shipping method you desire, and your order will be shipped via that method.

    If my order includes an item on presale, will the in-stock items ship first?+

    Unfortunately, due to the way insurance is applied to an order, everything must ship at the same time (i.e., in-stock items must await shipment until all presale items have arrived). Your order will ship in its entirety within 24-72 hours of our receiving the presale item. An email notification will be sent when your order ships.

    Do you ship to US territories?+

    All orders will ship from our warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada. We mask our return address on all packages as to not give away the contents of the package.
