Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 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, fur, and body. The coin's design is meant to highlight the importance of wildlife conservation and the preservation of natural resources. Additionally, the coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
