Somali investment coins attract the attention of collectors and investors around the world. Let's look at the most popular series of gold and silver investment coins of Somalia, as well as the mints that mint them:
The African Elephant series: this is perhaps the most famous and popular series of investment coins of Somalia. It has been issued annually since 1999 in gold and silver. The design of the coins changes every year, but always depicts an African elephant in its natural habitat.
Gold coins are issued in denominations of: 1 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, 1/10 ounce.
Silver coins are issued in denominations of: 1 kilogram, 10 ounces, 5 ounces, 2 ounces, 1 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce.
The series "African Wildlife": this series is dedicated to various representatives of the African fauna. Over the years, the coins depicted leopards, rhinoceroses, buffaloes and other animals.
The Year of the Zodiac series: a coin dedicated to the current sign of the Chinese zodiac is issued annually.
The Chess Series: This series is a set of silver coins, each of which depicts one of the chess pieces.
Officially, these coins are issued on behalf of the Central Bank of Somalia, but in fact their production is carried out by several private mints:
The Bavarian State Mint, the Emporium company in Germany. Sunshine Minting, Inc. in the USA: This private mint has also been involved in the minting of some Somali coin issues. Pobjoy Mint in the UK: known for its involvement in the production of some series of coins.
The coins are officially issued on behalf of the Central Bank of Somalia, and the actual involvement of the Somali Government in their production and distribution is minimal or absent. This is due to the unstable political situation in the country.
