There are many reasons for the increasing popularity of the Silver Somalian Elephant series of coins. Originally available only in silver, today the coins have grown into a massive program that features gold, silver, and platinum versions with bullion and proof options across a variety of weights. Today, the 2017 ¼ oz Silver Somalian Elephant Coin is available in BU condition on Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships in a plastic flip to protect the coin’s condition and quantities of 25 ship in a mint tube.
  • Fourteenth design of Silver Somalian Elephant coins.
  • First-ever release of fractional Silver Elephants!
  • Consists of One-Quarter Troy ounce of .9999 fine silver.
  • Face value of 25 Somali Shillings.
  • Reverse features the coat of arms for Somalia.
  • Obverse includes an all-new elephant design.
  • Available in BU condition.

Each of the 2017 ¼ oz Silver Somalian Elephant Coins in this Silver.com listing is a Brilliant Uncirculated specimen. Coins with a BU grade show no signs of wear and tear, though you may notice flaws ranging from breaks in the luster and spotted surfaces to contact marks as a result of striking during the production process.

Silver Somalian Elephants have a unique backstory. These coins were originally Zambian Elephants from 1999 to 2003. In 2004, the Bavarian State Mint issued the coins for Somalia instead, with some disagreement as to their legal tender status.

However, recent increases in the fineness of the coins from .999 to .9999 and growing popularity for the ever-changing obverse design have made these coins a must-have for many numismatists. These 2017 ¼ oz Silver Somalian Elephants are available from the Bavarian State Mint for the first time ever in the program’s history, as three fractional weight and three new full-weight coins are added to the silver lineup.

On the obverse of all 2017 ¼ oz Silver Somalian Elephant coins you’ll find the latest elephant design for the series. It features an elephant standing amidst the grasses of the Savannah in Africa, with a traditional hut and palm tree in the background.

The reverse side of the 2017 Silver Somalian Elephant continues the use of the nation’s coat of arms as the primary design feature. The coat of arms is accompanied by engravings of “Somali Republic” above, “2017” split on either side of the heraldic shield, and the face value of “25 Shillings” along the bottom.

Founded in 1158, the Bavarian State Mint is one of Germany’s oldest minting facilities. Today, it is one of the nation’s four primary mints, tasked with creating both commemorative coinage and German-issue Euros for the EU.

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.
