The Somalian Elephant Series was actually introduced by the Bavarian State Mint in 1999 as a silver coin collection issued for Rwanda. The coins were struck with a new design on the obverse each year for Rwanda through the 2003 release. Beginning in 2004, the coins were renamed Somalian Elephant Series, though still considered the African Wildlife Series overall.

Since changing over to Somalia as the nation of issue, the coin series has steadily made gains among precious metal investors and collectors. The series has branched out to include silver and gold coins in both bullion and proof versions. The silver collection recently expanded immensely to feature fractional-weights, more fractional-weights and larger-weight coins were added to the gold series, and in 2016 the first-ever Platinum Elephant was introduced.

On the obverse of all 2017 Platinum Somalian Elephant coins you’ll find the latest design in the series. It depicts a massive elephant standing in front of a thatched-roof hut on the African plains, with the sun rising overhead in the background.

The reverse of all Somalian Elephant Coins includes the coat of arms for Somalia. The coin’s year of issue, face value, and nation of issue are all engraved on this side of the coin. Somalia’s coat of arms features a single star against a shield with horizontal stripes on the background.

Included in this 2017 Platinum Somalian Elephant Set you’ll find a total of four 2017-issue platinum coins. Each coin contains .9995 fine platinum, and featured weights include a 1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz coin.

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.
