2023 Somalia 500 Shillings 5-oz Silver African Wildlife Elephant BU

Make Room For The 2023 Somali Elephant!

In the early 1970s it was estimated that more than 20,000 elephants lived along the Somalia-Kenya border, but due to poaching, civil war and political instability not a single pachyderm had been seen in Somalia since 1995. Recently, however a bull elephant made his way across the border from Kenya sparking hopes that perhaps the world’s largest land animal would be making a comeback.

Unpacking The Trunk Of The Latest Somalia Elephant

For collectors, the comeback started years ago when the African Wildlife Elephant coin series debuted in 1999. Originally struck under the authority of Zambia, the series has been issued by Somalia every year since 2003. The one-year-only design on the 2023 coin features an African bush elephant reaching up with its trunk to grab a tasty helping of leaves from an Acacia tree. The African savanna stretches off in the distance as another Acacia tree stands tall against the horizon even while the sun blazes high in the sky. Struck in five full ounces of highly pure 99.99% silver, this 500 Shillings legal-tender coin is a true masterpiece.

Each coin available in this offer comes in gorgeous Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, a distinction that means your coin was superbly struck and is among the elite of the run. The exceptional detail is so incredible that you can see every wrinkle in elephant’s long and twisting trunk!
