The Somalia Gold Elephant honors the African bush elephant, the largest land mammal in the world. African bush elephants live in a matriarchal social structure. The core of the group is typically led by the oldest and most experienced female elephant, known as the matriarch. She plays a crucial role in guiding the herd’s movements, finding water and food sources, and making decisions.

In the obverse design of the 2024 Proof Gold Elephant Coins, the mint features the coat of arms of Somalia. This design shows a crowned shield that includes a field of horizontal lines with a single star at the center. This shield is supported by leopards on either side.

For the reverse face of 2024 Proof Somalia Elephants, the Bavarian State Mint offers a depiction of African bush elephant bull males engaged in a fight. Male elephants go through a periodic condition known as “musth.” During musth, which can last for several weeks, male elephants experience heightened testosterone levels, increased aggression, and physical changes like secretion from temporal glands. This condition helps them compete for mates.
