1 Unze Gold Somalia Elefant / African Wildlife 2023

Somalia Elephant gold coin, African Wildlife 2023

Since 1999, the African Wildlife/Somalia Elephant gold coin is offered in the trade. The first five years it appeared under the flag of Zimbabwe. From the year 2004 the government of Somalia gave the permission. Although the official name of the series is African Wildlife, the coins are also called Somalia Elephant because of their origin. In the case of the African Wildlife coin, we are talking about an agency mintage. This means that the country Somalia - gives the minting rights to a private company. In this case, the Bavarian Mint. The design of the coins is subject to strict regulations, so that the client country does not lose its reputation.
