2019 Somalia 1 oz Gold African Elephant BU
The African Wildlife series has captured the imagination of coin enthusiasts since its inception in 2004. Minted in Germany by the Bavarian State Mint, this striking coin series is celebrated for its dynamic approach to design, featuring a completely new depiction of the African elephant on the reverse side each year. For the 2019 edition, the reverse showcases a magnificent adult elephant reaching its trunk toward the branches of a tree. A bird flies nearby under the warmth of a shining sun, creating a vivid savanna scene. This side also bears the inscriptions confirming its weight and purity, marked as one ounce of 999.9 fine gold. The obverse of the coin displays the official coat of arms for the Somali Republic, flanked by the split year of 2019. It also denotes the face value of 1000 shillings. Struck in brilliant uncirculated condition, this coin represents a harmonious blend of German minting precision and the wild beauty of the African continent.
