2025 Somalia Silver Elephant Coin
Ah, the mighty African elephant—
the true titan of the animal kingdom! These incredible creatures are nothing short of awe-inspiring, standing tall and proud with their massive ears flapping and their trunks waving around like nature's own multi-tools. Imagine being up close and hearing the gentle rumble of their vocalizations—it's like being in the presence of living legends!
I mean, just picture it:
a herd of elephants majestically making their way through the savanna, effortlessly knocking down trees for a snack and playfully splashing around in waterholes. It's hard not to get excited about these magnificent animals and all the wonder they bring to our world! 🐘✨
Today, I present the Somali Elephant coin.
The series is part of the African Wildlife Coin Program, which is known for its ever-changing designs featuring African elephants. Each year, the design is updated to offer something new and unique.
2025 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant Coin (BU)

The coin has a diameter of 39 mm and a thickness of 3 mm. It is legal tender in Somalia with a face value of 100 Somali Shillings.
The obverse side of the coin
bears the national coat of arms of Somalia. The coat of arms depicts a golden-bordered shield with the national flag, supported by two leopards on each side. Surrounding the coat of arms are the inscriptions "SOMALI REPUBLIC," the year "2025," and the coin's face value of "100 SHILLINGS"
The African savanna is home to an incredible array of wildlife, including iconic species like elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, and many more. These animals have adapted to the unique conditions of the savanna, making it one of the most fascinating and dynamic ecosystems on Earth.

The mighty elephant, how fitting it is to have this very intelligent creature on this silver coin @silversaver888!😊
They say an elephant never forgets, and I have heard that they can recognize people after decades of being apart from them amazing !! 😊
Indeed,@silvertop! The elephant is a truly remarkable and intelligent creature! 🐘 It's fascinating how their memories and recognition skills can span decades, creating lifelong bonds with their herd members and even with humans they encounter. Elephants have complex social structures and exhibit emotions like joy, grief, and compassion, making them one of the most emotionally intelligent animals on the planet.
It's wonderful to see such an iconic and majestic animal featured on a silver coin, symbolizing wisdom, strength, and memory.
Elephants always remind me of the importance of cherishing our connections and memories. 😊

No, the Bavarian Mint and B.H. Mayer are not the same. The Bavarian Mint, also known as the Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt, is a state-owned mint located in Munich, Germany. It has a long history dating back to 1158 and is one of the five German mints responsible for producing coins for the Federal Republic of Germany.
On the other hand, B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt GmbH, commonly known as B.H. Mayer or the Mayer Mint, was founded in 1871 by Bernard Henrix Mayer in Pforzheim, Germany. The Mayer Mint is renowned for its technological prowess and leadership in producing medals, commemorative coinage, and contract minting.
Both mints have their own unique histories and specialties, but they are distinct entities.
The 2025 Somali African Wildlife Elephant coin was produced by the Bavarian State Mint. This mint is renowned for its high-quality coinage and has been producing the Somali Elephant series for several years.

such a nice coin! I saw the elephants live when I went to thailand. I am always afraid they would fall on me, so I never got close to them. :P
Thailand offers such rich and diverse experiences, doesn't it, @chinito? From vibrant street markets to serene temples, there's always something interesting to explore. 🏯🌄 I hope to somday visit Thailand!

The Indian elephant can be domesticated, but the African elephant cannot. Strange. I don't know if it's possible to crossbreed them. How would these hybrids behave?
It's not related to the coins, those are nice, I have three of them too.

It's fascinating how different the Indian and African elephants are! While Indian elephants have been domesticated for centuries, African elephants remain wild and untamed. Crossbreeding between these two species is extremely rare, but there has been one documented case.
In 1978, a hybrid elephant named Motty was born at Chester Zoo in England. Motty's mother was an Asian elephant, and his father was an African elephant. Unfortunately, Motty only lived for 10 days due to health complications.
As for how these hybrids would behave, it's hard to say definitively since there are so few examples. But, we can guess that they might exhibit a mix of traits from both parent species. For example, they could have the physical characteristics of both African and Indian elephants, such as ear size and trunk shape. Behaviorally, they might inherit the social structures and habits of both species, leading to unique and potentially unpredictable behaviors.
It's a fascinating topic that highlights the complexities of nature and the distinctiveness of these magnificent creatures. And it's great to hear you have three of those beautiful coins in your collection, @trautenberk! 😊

Elephants live to quite an old age and are able to learn. Their memory is famous. Scientists are disputing what kind of elephants were the ones that made the campaign from Hispania to Italy with Hannibal.
But every animal looks good on coins.
