Although these coins are also referred to as part of the “Wildlife Series”, the elephant is the only animal to be featured in the series so far. This program debuted in 1999 and was originally for the nation of Zambia. Later, in 2004, the Silver Elephant Coins instead “migrated” to Somalia. The Somalia Silver Elephant Coin in general is a bit of a mystery in the industry also because the mintage numbers for these coins have not been confirmed. On top of that, the elephant is widely regarded as a symbol of strength, wisdom, and luck. But, one thing you can be sure of is the Somalia Silver Elephant Coin will increase the silver value of your collection and help hedge your investments.
The obverse of the Somalia Silver Elephant Coin features a marching elephant as it trumpets in the African wild. Inscriptions on this side remark on the program, animal, weight, and purity. The reverse showcases the Somalian Coat of Arms, the year, denomination, and the country.
