Obverse

The obverse of the 2025 Somalia Gold Elephant Coin displays the Somali coat of arms. The national seal includes a crowned shield, which features a background of stripes with a star at its center. The shield is held up by two leopards, and below them are crossed spears and palm branches.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 2025 1/25 oz Somalia Gold Elephant Coins, the design for this year shows a magnificent elephant walking across the savanna. The elephants long tusks are nearly touching the ground, and behind the elephant is a lone tree standing on the horizon as the sun rises in the sky.

History

The communication methods of African bush elephants are fascinating. They use deep, low-frequency sounds that can travel miles through the ground, enabling communication over long distances. Elephants also rely on visual signals and touch to share messages within their herds.
