Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1000 Shillings (Elephant; Gold) 2016 coin from Somalia is that it has a unique design featuring an elephant, which is not commonly seen on coins. The elephant is depicted in a naturalistic pose, with detailed engravings of its tusks, ears, and body. The coin's design is meant to highlight the importance of wildlife conservation and protecting endangered species, which is a significant issue in Somalia and other parts of Africa.
