The smallest gold denomination in the series measures just 11.00 millimetres in diameter and contains 0.62 grams of fine gold. The face value of 20 Shillings struck on the coin identifies it as an official means of payment of the Republic of Somalia. Those familiar with the series will know: older years of issue are not re-minted, meaning each respective mintage is final – yet the true reason for purchase always remains the gold it contains.
African Wildlife – the series featuring the elephant
The "African Wildlife" series is among the best-known design coinages in German-speaking countries. Every year, the Bavarian State Mint creates a new elephant design – sometimes a single animal, sometimes, as in 2015, an entire family in the savannah. This design side bears the lettering "AFRICAN WILDLIFE" at the top, "ELEPHANT" below, the fineness indication "Au 999", the denomination "1/50 oz" and the year of issue. The obverse features the Somali national coat of arms: a shield held by two leopards bearing the five-pointed star, surrounded by "Somali Republic" and the face value. Despite Somalia being the issuing country, the Somalia gold coin is minted entirely in Munich – an internationally common licensed coinage produced to the customary high German standard of quality.
Small fine gold as a building block for your gold investment
The substance of these gold coins is the fine gold itself: its value tracks the gold price directly, making the coin tradeable worldwide and resaleable at any time. Gold is humanity's oldest currency, a proven store of value for over 6,000 years – and a metal that has never lost its intrinsic worth. Small units like this 1/50-ounce issue are particularly well suited to flexibly building up physical gold holdings in small amounts.
Small quantities of gold add up over the years into a substantial fortune – a tangible asset that can be passed down from generation to generation.
As a store of value, gold traditionally serves as protection against inflation and currency risks. It is not without reason that the world's central banks hold enormous gold reserves. Physical fine gold also offers high liquidity and can be quickly converted back into cash when needed. This makes the coin a fitting gift with a clear conscience for personal occasions such as birthdays, christenings or weddings: you are not simply handing over a present, but genuine investment gold whose substance grows with the gold price.
Compared to larger denominations in the series – such as the 1/10, 1/4 or 1-ounce gold coin – the 1/50-ounce issue is the most accessible option. It stands out with the lowest absolute capital outlay and maximum divisibility of gold wealth; larger units, on the other hand, offer a more favourable ratio of premium to gold value. Anyone wanting to start small while still holding pure fine gold in hand will find this Brilliant Uncirculated coin a compelling choice.
