| Additional information |
Somalia's elephant bullion series, running since 1999, operates under a licensing arrangement that has never involved the Somali government in any meaningful monetary capacity — the coins are produced and marketed entirely by the German firm Geiger Edelmetalle. The Chicago ANA privy mark places this piece at the American Numismatic Association's 2019 World's Fair of Money, held in Rosemont, Illinois in August of that year.
Annual design changes across the elephant series drive collector demand in ways that pure bullion coins rarely achieve. The ANA privy further restricts mintage beyond the standard issue, though Geiger has not always published precise figures for privy-marked variants.
