Interesting fact
The 1000 Shilling (Elephant) 2021 coin from Somalia is a unique and interesting coin due to its unusual design. The coin features an elephant on the obverse (front side) and the Somali coat of arms on the reverse (back side). The use of an elephant on the coin is significant because elephants are not typically associated with Somalia, which is known more for its desert landscapes and nomadic cultures. The inclusion of an elephant on the coin may symbolize the country's diverse wildlife and natural beauty. Additionally, the coin's gold composition and high purity level (.9999) make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
