The African Wildlife Series began its journey in 1999 with the release of the Zambia Elephant coin. In 2004, Somalia became the new issuer of this series, continuing its annual production of both gold and silver coins. The collection is known for its 1 oz silver coins and larger weights, including the impressive 1 kilo silver coin. In the gold range, fractional-ounce options are also available. Right now, you can purchase 2025 Somalia Elephant 1/2 oz Gold Coins at Provident Metals.

History
The African bush elephant, the largest land animal on Earth, is known for its enormous size. These gentle giants can stand up to 13 feet tall at the shoulder and weigh around 13,000 pounds. Their role as a keystone species in Africa means that their presence and behavior help maintain the balance of ecosystems and influence many other animals.
