Obverse

The 2024 Elephant 5 oz Silver Coin proudly displays the Somali coat of arms on its obverse side, a symbol that has adorned every coin in the series since 2004. The coat of arms features a shield with a crown and a star at its center, set against a backdrop of horizontal lines, with two powerful leopards flanking it. Inscriptions read SOMALI REPUBLIC, 2024, and 500 SHILLINGS.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 2024 Somalia Elephant Silver Coin, a captivating new design takes center stage. Witness the raw power of two male elephants engaged in a fierce battle. During mating season, male elephants often engage in such duels to assert dominance and win the favor of female elephants, making this coin a symbol of nature’s strength and beauty. The inscriptions include AFRICAN WILDLIFE, ELEPHANT, and 5 OZ AG 999.9.

History

During mating seasons, there are instances when a mature male elephant might temporarily integrate into a family herd. The presence of a mature bull in the group is advantageous for the females, as it boosts the chances of successful reproduction. However, this role is not permanent, and the male will eventually move on to other groups or live a solitary existence.
