This release marks the 20th issue of the Somalia Silver Elephant, though it’s the 25th overall in the African Wildlife Series. Originally known as the Zambia Elephant from 1999 until 2003, the series transitioned to Somalia in 2004, continuing its celebration of African wildlife.

On the obverse, the 2023 Somalia Silver Elephant Coin displays the official coat of arms of Somalia. The design is consistent across the series, featuring a crowned shield flanked by leopards. The shield itself has a field of horizontal lines with a central star, symbolizing Somalia’s unity and strength.

The reverse side of 2023 1 oz Silver Elephant Coins presents the newest annual design of the African bush elephant, created by the Bavarian State Mint. This year, the focus is on the elephant’s head, with the majestic creature seen reaching up to pull down tree branches for a meal. This close-up captures the power and grace of one of Africa’s most iconic animals.
