Known today as the Somalian Silver Elephant coin, the African Elephant Series of silver bullion coins originated in 1999 as the Zambian Silver Elephant. Issued for the landlocked south African nation from 1999 to 2003, there was a significant change in the design of the coins in 2002. After using the Zambian coat of arms from 1999 to 2001, the mint switched to the use of the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II of England. The photos are with the capsule open to try to show the coin. There are no scratches or other marks , as you are seeing glare in the photos. This coin is in very good condition.
