The African Wildlife Series started with the Zambia Elephant in 1999 and grew significantly when Somalia began producing these coins in 2004. This series includes both gold and silver coins, with silver options ranging from 1 oz to 1 kilo and gold offerings available in fractional-ounce sizes. Right now, 2025 Somalia Elephant 1/4 oz Gold Coins are available from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2025 Somalia Elephant 1/4 oz Gold Coin comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These coins are packaged in protective plastic capsules, while bulk options of 20 coins arrive in acrylic tubes. The Gold Elephant series is known for its fractional sizes, offering coins in weights of 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, 1/25 oz, and 1/50 oz each year.
Obverse
On the obverse side of the 2025 Somalia Elephant Gold Coin, youll find the Somali coat of arms. This national emblem features a crowned shield with a single star at its center, much like the design of Somalias national flag. Leopards support the shield on either side, and it is set against a backdrop of horizontal lines. The inscriptions here include SOMALI REPUBLIC, 2025, and 200 SHILLINGS.
Reverse
The reverse of the 2025 Elephant 1/4 oz Gold Coin features an African bush elephant in its natural habitat. This striking design shows a large elephant with long tusks walking across the savanna. A distant tree and some brush are visible in the background as the sun rises in the sky behind the elephant. Inscriptions on this side include AFRICAN WILDLIFE, ELEPHANT, and 1/4 OZ AU 999.9.
History
African bush elephants are famous for their tusks, which they use to dig for water, strip bark from trees, and defend themselves. However, these tusks have also made them targets for poachers, which has significantly affected their populations in parts of Africa.
