The Silver Somalia Elephant Series has expanded dramatically in recent years. In 2016 alone, the Bavarian State Mint introduced a dizzying array of new options that included fractional-ounce silver coins, increased the fineness of the coins from .999 to .9999 silver, and even began to expand its offering of collectible versions of the coins. In addition to colorized, gilded, and limited-issue proof sets, one of the newest options is the Silver Christmas Elephant.
All 2022 1 oz Colorized Silver Somalia Christmas Elephants come with a working snowglobe as a unique holder for the coins. Each coin is safely set at the center in an upright position, allowing you to both shake the snowglobe to create the perfect winter setting and view both sides of the coin while it remains safely inside. The coin and snowglobe come with a Certificate of Authenticity from the mint as well.
On the obverse of 2022 Colorized Silver Christmas Elephants is a depiction of the national coat of arms. The seal features a crowned shield with a background field of horizontal lines and a single star at the center. The shield is supported by leopards on each side with spears and fern leaves beneath the design.
The reverse of the 2022 1 oz Colorized Silver Somalia Christmas Elephant comes with the image of a mother elephant guiding its young calf along the savanna. The standard 2022 design has been enhanced for this coin with beautiful colorization. The night sky is captured in deep hues of black and blue, with a bright white moon. The silhouette of Santa and his team of reindeer streaks through the night sky as snow falls softly on the savanna. The two elephants are wearing Santa hats and there is a red bow at the bottom of the field.
