Obverse

On the obverse of 2025 Somalia Silver Elephant Coins, the Somalia national coat of arms is featured, designed by the Bavarian State Mint. This emblem consists of a central shield with horizontal lines and a star, flanked by leopards, and bordered with a beaded design.

Reverse

The reverse side of the 2025 1 oz Silver Elephant Coin showcases a powerful image of a solitary elephant walking across the African savanna, with lush vegetation and distant mountains in the background. Despite being social animals, African bush elephants, particularly males, often exhibit solitary behavior as they mature and leave their maternal herds.

History

The African bush elephant is found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, with its range extending from semi-desert regions to dense rainforests and high-altitude areas. These elephants are highly adaptable, thriving in a variety of ecosystems including coastal areas and mountainous regions that rise as high as 8,000 feet.
