The Proverbial Elephant In The Room? Despite its size that, when motivated to move, can plow through just about anything, elephants are one of the most popular animals on earth. The reason is simple: people are drawn to these large animals because much like humans they are intelligent creatures that have developed deep social bonds and exhibit emotions and empathy to others of their kind. Measuring 13 feet tall on average, they are gigantic critters that spend most of their day eating leaves and branches. But now they’ve been cut down to size with an elephant-shaped coin that’s an exact replica of this mighty pachyderm – only 100 times smaller! Exquisite Detail Highlights This Elephant-Shaped Coin.

And, while elephants make a variety of sounds, their loud trumpeting is the most recognizable and can be heard up to six miles away! Dazzling Reverse Proof Finish.
