| Additional information |
Somalia's elephant bullion series has run since 2004, making it one of the longer-lived African wildlife programs on the market. The annual design changes — a deliberate policy decision — were modeled loosely on the success of the Chinese Panda series and are the primary reason secondary-market premiums remain elevated above spot.
The tiger privy identifies this as part of a lunar sub-series tied to the Chinese calendar year of the Tiger.
