The African elephant has stood on the brink of extinction for almost a century now. Adult elephants have massive ivory tusks that have been sought by hunters, collectors, and designers around the globe. The African Wildlife Series calls attention to the plight of the elephant on the annual Somalia Silver Elephant coin.  These coins were first introduced in 2004 and have quickly risen to popularity by collectors of foreign silver coins

African elephants were the target of hunters and poachers from the moment ivory was introduced to the Western world. It was highly prized for its use in a variety of applications, and the desire to own ivory products resulted in the near extinction of the animal. Separated into two sub-species, bush elephants are the largest land creatures in the world, while the forest elephant is the third largest terrestrial creature.

Each Somalia Silver Elephant coin features a new design on the reverse side. For the 2008 1 oz Somalia Silver Coin, a family of elephants is included on the reverse side. Up close, a large adult is visible with its trunk raised. A smaller calf is noticeable at its feet, with a number of other elephants behind it.

The obverse side of the coin bears the coat of arms of the Somali Republic. In the middle of the heraldic shield is a single star, with leopards on either side of the shield to support it. An engraving that reads “Somali Republic” is located above the image. The Bavarian State Mint struck the first coins in this series in 1999 for the African nation of Zambia, making this coin the 10th to be released from the series.

When refused, the package(s) will return to JM Bullion for inspection.

  2. Holding period after cleared payment.
    • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
  3. Shipping method and transit time.

    • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.

You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.
