The African bush elephant’s range spans across sub-Saharan Africa, thriving in many different environments—from semi-desert areas to tropical rainforests and even mountainous regions. These majestic animals are well-known for their adaptability and can be found in diverse ecosystems, whether in the coastal regions or in higher altitudes up to 8,000 feet.

Each 2025 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant Coin from BullionMax is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and comes in a protective plastic capsule. The 2025 release features a special gilded design, with a layer of 24-karat gold applied to the reverse field, outlining the majestic elephant and enhancing its visual contrast with the surrounding details.

On the obverse of 2025 Somalia Silver Elephants, the coin displays Somalia’s national coat of arms, designed by the Bavarian State Mint. The emblem features a central shield with horizontal lines and a star, flanked by leopards and bordered with a beaded design.

The reverse side of the 2025 1 oz Silver Elephant Coin presents a solitary African elephant walking across the savanna. The elephant’s path is surrounded by lush vegetation and distant mountains, highlighting the contrast between the elephant and its natural environment. While elephants are highly social creatures, adult males—known as bulls—often spend much of their lives alone or in temporary groups after leaving their maternal herds.
