The Silver Somalian Elephant coin program has had an interesting run in its nearly 15 years of production. Originally introduced as a national issue coin for another nation, it was shifted to Somalia in 2004. The 2016 1 oz Colorized Silver Somalian Elephant Coin is available today from Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships to you in a protective plastic capsule.
  • Mintage limited to 5,000 colorized coins! Colorized by private mint.
  • Consists of One Troy ounce of .9999 fine silver in BU condition.
  • Issued a face value of 100 Shillings (Somalia).
  • Obverse features the latest African Elephant design complete with brilliant colorization.
  • Reverse includes the coat of arms for Somalia.

Somalian Elephant coins actually debuted in 1999 as an issue of Zambia. The Zambian Elephants were available from 1999 to 2003, and featured a new design every year on the obverse honoring the African elephant.

In 2004, the Bavarian State Mint transferred the nation of issue on the coins to Somalia, and kept up with the use of a new design every year. While the obverse design field might change specific features each year, it always maintains the motif of the African Elephant in its natural habitat.

The 2016 1 oz Colorized Silver Somalian Elephant Coins available to you now are in BU condition. Coins in this condition have no signs of wear and tear, though flaws do exist. You may notice minor flaws ranging from breaks in the luster and spotted surfaces to contact marks from the striking of the coins during production.

On the obverse of the 2016 1 oz Colorized Silver Somalian Elephant Coin is the beautiful image of a massive bull elephant standing along the banks of a river. The blue of the water almost matches that of the sky, with a bright yellow sun high above. The elephant is captured in natural grey tones.

The reverse of all Silver Somalian Elephant Coins includes the coat of arms for the nation of Somalia, which includes a pair of leopards holding up the heraldic shield. On that shield you’ll find a singular star set against a backdrop of horizontal lines.

All Silver Somalian Elephant Coins are originally produced by the Bavarian State Mint, which is owned by the state government of the Free State of Bavaria. In this limited-edition release, 5,000 coins from the Emporium Hamburg have been colorized and set for release. Emporium Hamburg is a third-party authorized coin dealer in Germany.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
