The Somalian Elephant Series of coins debuted in 2004 from the Bavarian State Mint. Originally available only as 1 oz silver coins, the program has grown consistently over the ensuing 14 years, first with the addition of the Gold Elephant lineup. In 2016, the mint added a first-ever Platinum Elephant coin to the series.

For 2017, the mint has further expanded with the additional six new weights in the silver lineup and two new fractional-weight coins for the gold series. The Somalian Elephant coins are firmly entrenched as one of the finest products in the world today.

On the obverse of each 2017 5 oz Proof Gold Somalian Elephant Coin you’ll find the all-new elephant design which depicts a large elephant standing on the savannahs of Africa. In the background is a small, traditional hut with a palm tree reaching into the sky next to it. Engravings on this face include “African Wildlife,” “Elephant,” and “5 oz Au 9999.”

The reverse of the 2017 Gold Somalian Elephants continues the use of the Somali coat of arms. The image includes the nation’s heraldic shield, which bears a single star in the center with a background field of horizontal lines. Engravings on the reverse read “Somali Republic” above, “2017” split on either side of the shield, and “1500 Shillings.”

Somalian Elephant coins are products of the Bavarian State Mint, which is located in Munich, Germany. The mint is a state-owned entity of the Free State of Bavaria, and is one of the nation’s primary minting facilities for commemorative and circulation Euro currency.

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.
