| Additional information |
Somalia's Elephant series has been struck since 2000, initially through a licensing arrangement that has allowed European dealers — particularly in Germany — to effectively drive the program's design and distribution. The coins have no meaningful domestic circulation function; they are bullion products aimed squarely at the international investment market, with Somalia lending its issuing authority in name.
The KM#373 and 374 distinction within this year reflects two separate authorized variants, a numbering pattern consistent across recent issues in the series.
