Somalian Gold Elephant Coins at Silver.com
One of the most popular coin programs on the market today is the Somalian Gold Elephant Coin. These coins are a relative newcomer to the bullion world, yet they have a long and complex history. Learn more about these intriguing gold coins, right here at Silver.com.
Background of the Gold Somalian Elephant Coins
Technically, these coins are part of the Somalian African Wildlife Series. However, most refer to the coin program as the Somalian Elephant Series as these animals are the ones that are always featured.
Struck by the Bavarian State Mint, these coins debuted in 1999 with the backing of Zambia. In 2004, these coins began receiving backing from Somalia, which has backed these coins ever since.
While these coins have had the backing of Somalia for over 20 years, interestingly, the governor of the Central Bank of Somalia denies that these coins have any legal standing in the country. The Bavarian State Mint has a letter of authorization from an individual named Barbatunde Bobulobolou authorizing the striking of these coins.
Coins have been struck annually since they debuted and are produced with .9999 fine gold. Unlike most coin programs, these coins have a new image of the elephant on the reverse with every new release.
Sizes Available
Gold coins in the series are issued in several unique sizes, such as the following:
- 1 Troy oz
- 1/2 Troy oz
- 1/4 Troy oz
- 1/10 Troy oz
- 1/25 Troy oz
- 1/50 Troy oz
- 1/2 Gram (0.0161 Troy oz)
This series also issues several Silver Elephant sizes as well as a 1 oz platinum version.
Unique Strikes
These coins are issued in several unique strike types and sets as well.
Proof strikes are available as Prestige Sets. These 4-coin sets have an issue limit of 300 and contain a total of 1.85 Troy oz of .9999 fine gold.
Also available is the First Struck 6-Coin Set. These sets contain each size except for the 1/2 gram and are among the first of each size to be struck. These sets have an issue limit of just 100.
