These special-issue silver coins from the Somalia Elephant collection have a privy mark on the obverse side from the Berlin World Money Fair. Hosted in the city of Berlin, Germany, the World Money Fair is an annual gathering of numismatists and coin enthusiasts from around the globe.
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.
It is on the obverse side of the Silver Elephants that you’ll find the World Money Fair privy mark, located in the center-right of the design field just above the all-new elephant design in use for 2017. These coins ship inside of a commemorative box for brilliant display and long-term protection.
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.
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.
