African bush elephants have the longest gestation period of any land mammal, lasting around 22 months. Newborn calves weigh around 200 pounds, and the entire herd helps care for them. Aunts and sisters assist in raising the young, showing strong family bonds in what’s known as “allomothering.”

These 2025 5 oz Somalia Silver Elephant Coins are offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and arrive in protective capsules. The Somalia Silver Elephant Series also includes a variety of coin sizes, such as 10 oz and 1 kilo options, as well as smaller coins like 2 oz, 1 oz, and ½ oz silver coins.

On the obverse of the 2025 Somalia Silver Elephant Coin, you’ll find the Somali coat of arms. This design features a crowned shield with a star in the center, supported by leopards on each side. Spear and palm frond elements cross beneath the shield.

The reverse of the 2025 5 oz Silver Elephant Coin features a powerful African bush elephant walking across the savanna. This year’s design showcases the elephant in front-facing relief, with its long tusks nearly touching the ground and large ears filling the design. A small tree, brush, and the rising sun complete the scene.
