For the obverse of the coin, artists chose to capture the tender side of this formidable creature by depicting a mother elephant with her young calf, marching alongside her. From the texture of their tough hides the pointed shape of their tusks, great care has been taken to capture every detail of this pair of pachyderms. Equally as impressive are the details that of the African Savanna such as the umbrella thorn trees and the flock of birds appearing in the distant sky. Printed along the edge of this coin are the series’ title, the animal’s name and the coin’s weight and purity.

Proudly emblazoned on the reverse side of the coin is the Somalia Coat of Arms as a symbol of national pride. This emblem depicts two leopards upholding a shield, decorated with the same five-pointed star of the Somalia flag. They are supported by a set of crossed spears and palm fronds, which are entwined with a ribbon. The crest is encircled by a border of text, inscribed with the coin’s mintage year, denomination and country of origin.
