{{/presale}}Somalia Elephant Silver Coins from the Bavarian State Mint are among the best-selling bullion specimens in the world today. The collection has been available since 1999, but its popularity increased significantly in 2016 with the introduction of more silver weights and an increase in the purity of the silver in each coin. Right now, you can buy 2018 Colorized Somalia Elephant 1 oz Silver Coins online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
With your purchase of a 2018 Colorized Somalia Elephant 1 oz Silver Coin, you will receive your specimen in an individual plastic capsule. Colorized coins such as these come from the standard bullion issue of the coins and are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each coin has colorized lacquers applied to specific fields on the reverse to create distinctive visual appeal.
Obverse
The obverse side of 2018 Colorized Somalia Elephant 1 oz Silver Coins features the Somali coat of arms. This design is centered on a crowned shield that has a background field of horizontal lines and a single star in the center. That shield is supported by leopards with crossed fern leaves and spears below. The leaves and spears are draped in a ribbon. Inscriptions include Somali Republic, 2018, and 100 Shillings.
Reverse
On the reverse face of the 2018 Colorized Somalia Elephant 1 oz Silver Coin, you will find the depiction of an African bush elephant that is unique to this release. In this years design, the elephant is in the near-foreground of the design field with its face close to the viewer and its tusks and trunk exceeding the central design ring to bleed over into the rim. Inscriptions on that design rim include African Wildlife, Elephant, and 1 oz Ag 9999.
This side of the coin has the colorized lacquer applied to the central design element. The elephant has its trademark gray skin with ivory white tusks. The background field captures a brilliant daytime setting with thin white clouds, rays of sunshine coming from behind the elephants head, and a blue sky.
History
2016 marked a significant expansion in the Somalia Elephant Silver Series that brought with it increased demand. The coins became available in 2016 in 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, 2 oz, 5 oz, and 10 oz options alongside the long-running 1 oz and 1 Kilo coins, with all coins seeing an increase in purity to .9999 pure silver.
