<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AndrewDS1, post: 2307735, member: 76393&quot;]The [new] Republic of Somalia Elephant Coins, which started minting bullion coins in 2004.&nbsp; &nbsp; Minted in Bavaria in both Silver and Gold, although the price of gold has kept me away from these beautiful coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Silver is 1oz for Mint State; also offering a Proof Silver fractional set (2oz, 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz) which are even more beautiful.&nbsp; Note that the early years were limited to 5K BU minting only, so these older dates are harder to find and more expensive.&nbsp; Subsequent years they have dramatically increased production to meet bullion demand.&nbsp; See attached for some history on the bullion BU coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are also (4) years, 2012-2015, where they printed the same elephant design coin for that year, but with a lunar year privy prominently placed on the reverse (Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram).&nbsp; These Privy mintages are limited to 3-5K for each year, making them distinct and rare compared to the same year coin sans privy.&nbsp;&nbsp; As far as I know the proof 4-coin Fractional sets run from 2012-2015, although I have not been able to find a 2012.&nbsp; The 4-coin proof sets are limited to 2K each year.&nbsp; Great coins and a beauty to see - every year is a different elephant design.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is possible to find a few MS70 1oz coins, but I have only from them for 2013-2016.&nbsp; &nbsp; If you are looking for something different, check them out. 2016 BU coins are less than $19.00 right now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
