23rd year for Gold Elephant Coins!

Contains 1/2 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold in BU condition.

Issued a face value of 500 Somali Shillings.

Obverse depicts the coat of arms of Somalia.

Reverse includes African bush elephants near a savanna watering hole.

The obverse of the 2026 1/2 oz Gold Elephant Coins features Somalia’s national coat of arms. This emblem displays a shield with horizontal lines and a central star, supported on either side by leopards. Beneath the shield, palm branches and spears cross to complete the design.

On the reverse of the 2026 Somalia  Gold Elephant Coins, a new design presents a watering hole scene on the savanna. A zebra drinks from the water’s edge while two large African bush elephants approach across the landscape, seeking relief and hydration. A mountain range rises in the distance, adding depth to the background.

African bush elephants are a keystone species, creating opportunities for countless other animals to thrive. The water holes they dig during dry seasons become lifelines for smaller mammals, birds, and reptiles, while the paths they forge through dense vegetation serve as highways for other wildlife. Their feeding habits create diverse microhabitats—fallen trees become homes for insects and small mammals, while their nutrient-rich dung supports thriving ecosystems of beetles, birds, and plant life.
