These magnificent creatures are found across sub-Saharan Africa and have been the focus of a Bavarian State Mint program since 1999.

In 2004, the series became known as the Somalia Elephant and has continued under this banner since.

Highly intelligent and social animals, African bush elephants live in matriarchal herds led by the oldest and most experienced female. These herds typically consist of related females and their offspring, while adult males tend to be solitary or form loose bachelor groups. Elephants communicate through a variety of vocalizations, including low-frequency rumbles that can travel for miles, allowing them to maintain contact with distant herd members and coordinate group movements.

On the obverse of 2025 Somalia Gold Elephants is a depiction of the coat of arms of Somalia. The national emblem consists of a crowned, spade-like shield that is supported on either side by a leopard. The shield features a field of horizontal lines with a single star at the center and the field has a beaded border around the edge of the designs.

The reverse of 2025 1 oz Gold Elephant Coins comes with a new design showcasing a massive bush elephant on the march. Known for their distinctive large ears, long trunks, and impressive tusks, African bush elephants are keystone species that play a crucial role in shaping their ecosystems.
