1/10 Unze Gold Somalia Elefant 2023

Somalia Elephant/African Wildlife 2023 1/10 Gold Coin

The African Wildlife/Somalia Elephant gold coin has been on the market since 1999. For the first five years she appeared under the flag of Zimbabwe. As of 2004, the government of Somalia gave permission. Although the official name of the series is African Wildlife, the coins are also called the Somalia Elephant because of their origin. With the African Wildlife coin we speak of an agency coinage. This means that the country of Somalia - gives the minting rights to a private company. In this case the Bavarian Main Mint. The design of the coins is subject to strict regulations so that the customer country does not lose its reputation.

The motif side of the current 2023 issue shows an elephant eating. With his trunk stretched out, he grabs a branch that protrudes into the picture from above. In the background we see the African steppe with a hill and the typical plant vegetation in Africa - the Burkea Africana. We can still see the right half of the sun at the top left of the image. The motif of the Somalia Elephant gold coin changes every year.
