| Additional information |
Somalia's elephant coin series occupies an unusual position in the bullion market: despite being issued under Somali authority, the coins have been produced in Germany by the Bavarian State Mint (Bayerische Hauptmünzamt) for the entire run of the series. The arrangement reflects Somalia's lack of functioning mint infrastructure rather than any numismatic partnership in the conventional sense. The 2021 issue continues the annual design rotation that has made the series a minor collecting phenomenon in European bullion circles, where date runs are actively assembled.
