Obverse

The obverse of the 2024 Somalia Elephant Gold Coin boasts a striking representation of the national coat of arms, symbolizing the Somali Republic. It showcases a crowned shield with a central star set against a backdrop of horizontal lines, flanked by leopards. Inscriptions include SOMALI REPUBLIC, 2024, and 20 SHILLINGS.

Reverse

On the reverse side of these 2024 Elephant 1/2 Gram Gold Coin, you’ll find a dynamic depiction of two male bush elephants fiercely locked in combat. During the breeding season, known as “musth,” male bush elephants vigorously compete for the attention of females, exhibiting heightened testosterone levels, increased aggression, and enhanced reproductive behaviors. Their tusks and size play a pivotal role in establishing dominance and securing mating opportunities. Inscriptions read AFRICAN WILDLIFE, ELEPHANT, and 0.5 G AU 999.9.

History

While males may not play a direct role in raising offspring, they indirectly contribute to the ecosystem through their feeding habits. Elephants, including males, eat a variety of plant species and can help disperse seeds across their habitat. This seed dispersal is crucial for maintaining the diversity and health of plant populations in African ecosystems.
