The history of the Somalia Elephant Silver and Gold coin

Somalia is located in the Horn of Africa, the easternmost point of the continent. The country has the longest coastline in Africa. The African Wildlife Series Somali Elephant is the first part of the “African Wildlife Series”, which was first introduced in 1999. However, between 1999 and 2003, the Bavarian State Mint produced and exported these coins for Zambia. In 2004, Somalia took over the production of the series from Zambia. However, the Bavarian State Mint in Munich continued to be the manufacturer of the coin series. The Somalia Elephant coin is one of the most interesting coins minted in the world today. Both the silver and gold coins Somalia Elephant bear the name “African Wildlife” and are marked with the African elephant as the main motif.

Although the Somalia elephant on the coin has a face value, since 2018 there has been uncertainty as to whether these coins are considered official legal tender in Somalia, as they are not issued by the Central Bank of Somalia. However, investors and collectors interested in the Somalia Elephant gold coin know that the Munich Mint in Germany is one of the highest quality mints in Europe.

The Somalia Elephant coin was produced in limited quantities during the first five years from 2004 to 2008. In the first five years, the Bavarian State Mint in Munich limited production to 5,000 pieces per year. The Somalia Elephant Gold and Silver were instantly popular with investors and collectors due to their original and intricate designs and impressive purity of .999. The interest in these coins prompted the mint to expand its minting program. For this reason, they continued to be introduced both as proof coins and as bullion coins.
