Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Shillings (Elephant) 2007 gold coin from Somalia is that it features a unique design of an elephant on the obverse side, which is not commonly seen on coins. The elephant is depicted in a naturalistic pose, with detailed engravings of its tusks, wrinkles, and fur. This design choice adds to the coin's aesthetic appeal and makes it stand out among other coins.
