Coins in Brilliant Uncirculated condition exhibit no signs of wear and tear, though you may notice minor flaws including breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks from the coining process.

More importantly, these 2017 Silver Elephants have added beauty through the application of colorization to the primary design features of the coin’s obverse face. The image of the elephant on this year’s release has been brought to life with real-world hues and makes the coin’s image jump off the surface and into reality.

On the reverse of all 2017 Somalia Silver Elephant coins you’ll find the image of the coat of arms for Somalia. This is accompanied by the nation of issue engravings, as well as the face value and year of issue for the coins.

The obverse of the 2017 1 oz Colorized Somalia Silver Elephant Coin bears the latest design in the series. This image features a large bull elephant with its trunk raised as it stands on the open savanna, with a small hut and tall palm trees located in the background field. Included are the colorized features of the 2017 as outlined above.

Somalia Silver Elephant coins were originally introduced in 1999 as Zambian Silver Elephant coins, but the Bavarian State Mint shifted the nation of issue for the coins to Somalia in 2004. Today, these are among the most coveted coins in the world following a recent bump to .9999 pure silver and the ever-changing obverse designs.

Somalia Silver Elephants are produced originally by the Bavarian State Mint, but the colorization of these 2017 Silver Elephants occurred at Emporium Hamburg, a third-party dealer in Germany.
