    @medoraman thanks! The 10 and 20 satang are much harder to find in my opinion and pricier compared to the 2.5 and 5 satang.

    I have a few of them as well. This seems to be a fairly common design.

    You already posted the type I have, but I'm gonna post mine anyway. I'm pretty sure its my only elephant coin, I'll have to check my few Thai coins and see if any are hiding on those... ;) A 5 Shilling coin from Somaliland.

    A recent purchase. Looks more like an elephant puppy dog mix.

    I once found this metal detecting. A Triangle shaped token made of lead with an image of an elephant and Sankrit writing on the other side which I read was known as a Hindu Mantra.

    These where struck to pay the Askaris (native soldiers) under command of the "Bush Fox" General Paul von Lettenow. This formation although outnumbered/ outgunned 10 to one by the AlliedArmies/ went "undefeated" won every battle in WW1. d8e1a9f0755ee274cb8a5cd58aac5cbc.jpg
