On the obverse of 2022 Somalia Gold Elephant Coins, you will find the image of the national coat of arms. The Somali coat of arms borrows one design concept from the national flag, that being the use of a single star. This single star is set against a background field of horizontal lines in the center of a crowned shield. The shield is supported by a leopard on either side, with fern leaves and spears crossing beneath the shield.

The reverse face of 2022 1/2 oz Gold Elephant Coins features the latest depiction of the African bush elephant in the series. The African bush elephant is the world’s largest land mammal and is considered an endangered species. In this design, an adult bush elephant is shown in left-profile relief as it walks along the savanna with its young calf by its side.

African bush elephants are endangered on the African continent for a variety of reasons. Humans are one of the biggest threats to the continued existence of these massive, beautiful creatures. The long tusks that showcase the age of the great beasts also make them a target for poachers. The tusks are made from ivory and are extremely valuable on the black market.
