Obverse

The 2024 Somalia Silver Elephant coin proudly displays the Somali coat of arms on its obverse side, a symbol that has graced all the coins in the series since 2004. The coat of arms features a shield with a crown and a star in the middle, set against horizontal lines, flanked by two majestic leopards.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 2024 5 oz Silver Elephant coin, a new and captivating design awaits. Witness the powerful scene of two male elephants engaged in a fight. During mating season, male elephants often engage in such battles to vie for the affection of female elephants, making this coin a symbol of strength and determination.

History

Occasionally, during mating seasons, a mature male elephant may temporarily join a family herd. Having a mature bull in the group benefits the females, as it enhances the likelihood of successful reproduction. Nevertheless, this is not a permanent position, and the male will eventually depart to join other groups or lead a solitary life.
