Somalia's elephant bullion series, launched in the early 2000s, was never a product of the Somali government in any functional sense — the country had no operative central bank during most of this period. The coins were produced and marketed by private European minting interests, principally through a licensing arrangement, with "Somalia" serving largely as a nominal issuing authority on the legal paperwork.
The series gained a collector following partly because annual design changes kept it fresh against static competitors. The 2010 issue is KM#221 in the Krause listings, though attribution across this series has been inconsistently documented.
