| Obverse description | Central field features the Somali national arms — a quartered shield bearing horizontal stripes and a central five-pointed star, flanked by two leopard supporters resting on a base of olive branches. The inscription SOMALI REPUBLIC arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, while the date 2022 is split to either side of the shield. The denomination 20 SHILLINGS appears in the lower field beneath the arms. |

| Additional information |
Somalia's Elephant bullion series has run continuously since 1999, with the reverse design updated annually — a deliberate strategy borrowed from the South African Krugerrand and Austrian Philharmonic model to encourage year-on-year collector demand. The 0.5g format exists almost entirely for gift and entry-level bullion markets; it contains too little metal for serious stacking but enough fine gold to qualify as legal tender under Somali law, however nominally that authority functions.
