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.

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.
