Somalia Silver Elephant coins were originally struck by the Bavarian State Mint for the nation of Zambia. As of 2004, the mint produces the coins for Somalia with a face value listed in Somali Shillings.

The design on the obverse face of the Somalia Silver Elephant coin is refreshed each year to feature the animal in a new motif. The concept behind the design is always the same, and focuses on highlighting the planet’s largest land mammal in its native habitat.

The reverse side of the 2016 1 Kilo Somalia Silver Elephant coin features the latest African elephant image. In the design, a male elephant is found standing along the banks of a river. The sun rises high in the distance as the river snakes off toward the horizon.

On the obverse of the 2016 Somalia Elephant coin is the image of the coat of arms for Somalia. It features two young leopards holding up a shield that bears a single star on a background field of horizontal lines. The face value and year of issue are included on this side.

The Bavarian State Mint is one of the most respected facilities in the world today, and is responsible for Silver and Gold Somalia Elephant coin production. Owned by the Free State of Bavaria and headquartered in Munich, it is one of Germany’s four major mint facilities.
