The Somalian Gold Elephant has been popular worldwide since it was first produced in 2004. Struck in .9999 fine Silver, this coin makes a great addition to any portfolio. This is the second year the Gold Elephant series is available in a 1oz size.
African elephants are the largest and heaviest land animal on the earth with no known natural predators once they reach adulthood. This majestic animal graces the reverse of each coin with a design that changes yearly making it desirable by both collectors and investors.
The African Wildlife series features this awesome large mammal, a signature of Africa. The coin is striking in its design. Celebrating the beauty of the animal kingdom, the Silver Elephant Coin portrays one of the largest mammals found on the African plains: the elephant.
Retaining the same design since the silver coin's release, the obverse of the Silver Elephant Coin depicts two leopards supporting a shield and five-pointed star. Beneath the leopards appears a ribbon draped over two crossed lances and two crossed palm fronds. However, unlike the obverse, the reverse of the Silver Elephant Coin changes annually but always features an illustration of a majestic elephant in its natural habitat.
