2017 Somalia 1 oz Silver Elephant BU (Rooster Privy)
The 2017 Somalian Elephant coin represents a striking entry in the long-running African Wildlife series. Struck in Germany at the Bavarian State Mint, this particular issue is minted from one troy ounce of highly pure 0.9999 fine silver. A notable feature of this release is its limited production, with a mintage capped at just 15,000 pieces. The reverse of the coin showcases a detailed depiction of an African elephant alongside a small, distinct rooster privy mark, which adds a layer of intrigue for those who study design variations. Inscriptions on this side include "AFRICAN WILDLIFE", "ELEPHANT", and the metal specifications "1 oz Ag 999.9". On the obverse, the coin displays the official Somalian Coat of Arms, flanked by the split year of issue, "20" and "17". The inscriptions "SOMALI REPUBLIC" and the face value of "100 SHILLINGS" are clearly struck, completing a design that balances national symbols with wild natural beauty.
