African Wildlife: Somalia Elephant 1 oz Silver 2023 Proof Ultra High Relief
The silver Somali Elephant coin is the next instalment of a series created in 1999 called the Somali Elephant. Interestingly, the first copies of the 1999 series were minted as coins guaranteed by the Zambian government. The copies minted after 2003 have a different guarantor, which is the Somali government. In addition, the Somali Elephant silver and gold coin series is part of the African Wildlife collector programme. The Somali Elephant 1 Ounce Silver 2023 Proof Ultra High Relief was produced by German precious metals producer Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt, with a weight of one troy ounce and a bullion purity of Ag.9999, a diameter of 35 mm, in proof and ultra high relief. Each product comes with individual, original packaging. Furthermore, African Wildlife coins that were produced after 2004 act as legal tender and are guaranteed by the Somali Government as to the legality, purity of the bullion and origin of the metal.
The obverse depicts the Somali coat of arms, two leopards supporting a shield with a star, along with information on the year of mintage and the denomination of the coin. The Rewers shows the head of a Somali elephant against a natural environment. The reverse side features the inscription 'AFRICAN WILDLIFE', 'ELEPHANT' and information on the weight and purity of the bullion.Do you need help?
