Other Foreign Gold Coins at Provident Metals

Beyond the popular American Eagle Gold Coin and Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin, there are plenty of other gold coin options on the market. At Provident Metals, you’ll find no shortage of incredible gold coins that can diversify your portfolio. Learn more about Other Foreign Gold Coins, right here at Provident Metals.

Somalian Elephant Gold Coins

One popular option is the Somalian Elephant Gold Coin. These coins were initially going to have the backing of Zambia. Elephant coins were even produced by the Bavarian State Mint along with Zambia from 1999 to 2003. It wasn’t until 2004 that these coins featured the backing of Somalia. Interestingly, while these coins are considered to be part of the African Wildlife series, only elephants have ever been featured.

Similar to annual BU coin programs from the Perth Mint, the image of elephants on the reverse changes with every new release. These coins feature the Somalian coat of arms on the obverse. While they are technically coins, the face value has been long debated. While 1 oz gold coins bear a face value of 1,000 Shillings, the Central Bank of Somalia has denied that these coins have any legal standing in Somalia.

Coins are issued in several weights and strikes. BU and proof coins are issued in sizes such as 1/50 oz, 1/25 oz, 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, 1 oz, and 5 oz, among others. Silver coins are also available in this series.
