History

2015 was a notable year for the Somalia Elephant Silver Coins. It marked the last year the coins were issued with .999 pure silver before the 2016 switch to .9999 pure silver content. Additionally, it was the last year that only the 1 oz and 1 Kilo silver coins were available. Starting in 2016, the silver bullion series would also include 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz silver coins for the first time ever, along with 2 oz, 5 oz, and 10 oz silver bullion coins.
