The African Wildlife coins were first made in 1999 by the Bavarian State Mint as the Zambia Elephant. After five issue dates, the series was shifted to feature Somalia as the nation of issue, with the Bavarian State Mint continuing to strike the coins. You will find them in gold and silver, with silver weights ranging from 1 oz to 1 Kilo silver. Today, 2024 10 oz Somalia Silver Elephant Coins are available to you online at JM Bullion.

When mature males reach sexual maturity at around 25 years old, they become more solitary and compete for mating opportunities with receptive females. Dominance among male elephants is often determined through displays of strength, such as pushing contests or vocalization. The dominant male typically gets priority in mating with the females in the area.
It’s important to note that elephant behavior can vary depending on environmental factors, population densities, and other ecological considerations. It is possible for variations to exist or for unique circumstances to come about based on specific elephant populations and environmental factors.
On the obverse of the 2024 10 oz Silver Elephant coin, you will see the Somali coat of arms. This special symbol has been on all the coins in the series since 2004. It shows a shield with a crown on top and a single star in the middle, with horizontal lines in the background. On each side of the shield, there is a leopard.
The reverse of the 2024 Somalia Silver Elephant coin comes with a new design for this year. It shows two male elephants fighting. Male elephants commonly fight with each other during mating season to compete for female elephants’ attention.
