Beginning in 2016, the Bavarian State Mint began issuing the Somalia Elephant Silver Coins in weights that went beyond the previously issued 1 oz and 1 Kilo silver coins. As part of the expansion of the series, the coins were now available in the so-called Proof Prestige Sets. These new sets showcased the original 1 oz coin with two of its new fractional-ounce counterparts and one of the new heavier-weight coins. Today, you have the opportunity to purchase 2016 Proof Somalia Elephant African Wildlife Prestige Silver Coin Sets online at Provident Metals.

The 2016 issue of the Somalia Elephant Silver coins saw the Bavarian State Mint expand the popular series beyond its original offering of only 1 oz and 1 Kilo silver coins. Newly added to the series in 2016 were the 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz fractional-ounce coins, as well as 2 oz, 5 oz, and 10 oz silver coins. Another factor that made the 2016 release important was the increase of silver purity in the coins from .999 to .9999.
