Happy Wednesday, stackers and Hivers!!! Thank you for letting me share my love of stacking silver coins.

Every year, I acquire the current year release of bullion silver coins from the different World Mints as they are released. It is one fun way to keep stacking boredom at bay.

These are the 2020 World Mint coins that I have shown on my blog so far:

This next World Mint coin featured in this article is by the Bavarian State Mint which produces the Somalia Silver Elephant Series on behalf of Somalia.

The coins are produced by the German mint each year and that extends back to the 1999-2003 release of the coins on behalf of Zambia.

The African elephant is the largest terrestrial land mammal in the world today. The bush elephant species is depicted in the designs of the Somalia Silver Elephant Series, which is the largest land mammal in the world and larger than its cousin the forest elephant. The animals grow to impressive sizes given the fact that elephants subsist on a diet of greens as herbivores.

2020 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant Coin (BU)

17th release of the Somalia Silver Elephant coins, contains 1 Troy oz of .9999 pure silver, a face value of 100 Shillings (Somali).

REVERSE

On the reverse side of the 2020 1 oz Somalia Silver Elephant Coin is a new design for the 2020 coins in the collection. This side includes two large adult elephants squaring off face to face with one another. Each of these bush elephants has large tusks with the trunk of one lifted slightly in the air. Behind them, Africas tallest peak at Mount Kilimanjaro is depicted rising toward the sky.

OBVERSE

The obverse of all 2020 Somalia Silver Elephant Coins includes the design of the coat of arms for Somalia. This crest includes a single star on a shield with horizontal lines and a crown at the top of the shield. The crest is supported on each side by leopards with two spears and fern leaves crossed below the design.
