Obverse

The obverse of the 2024 Somalia Gold Elephants showcases a captivating depiction of the national coat of arms, symbolizing the Somali Republic. It features a crowned shield with a central star set against a backdrop of horizontal lines, flanked by leopards.

Reverse

On the reverse side of these 2024 1/2 Gram Gold Elephants, you’ll find a dynamic portrayal of two male bush elephants locked in intense combat. During the breeding season, known as “musth,” male bush elephants vigorously compete for the attention of females, displaying heightened testosterone levels, increased aggression, and enhanced reproductive behaviors. Their tusks and size play a vital role in establishing dominance and securing mating opportunities.

History

Male bush elephants, known as bulls, typically live a solitary or semi-solitary life. They may form loose associations with other males, but they don’t have the same strong social bonds with family groups as females do. Bulls often roam large territories in search of food and potential mates.
