Each year the Bavarian State Mint releases a new design in the Somalia Elephant Series. This pattern has been followed since the coins were introduced in 2004, resulting in a long history of unique and brilliant designs.

For 2017, the Bavarian State Mint is also continuing with the release of beautiful high-relief proof strikings of the popular Somalia Silver Elephant coin. High-relief coins are struck on blanks under immense pressure, which creates a brilliant 3D design field on the surface of the coin.

The obverse side of the 2017 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant high relief proof coin bears the all-new elephant design for the series. It features a large elephant in the foreground standing amidst the tall grass of the Savannah, with a small hut and single palm tree featured in the background.
