• Obverse: Features an African bush elephant eating a tree branch surrounded by the Somalian landscape, with the inscriptions "AFRICAN WILDLIFE", "ELEPHANT", and "1 oz Au 999.9"
• Reverse: Features the engraving of the Somali Republic coat of arms along with inscriptions indicating the country's name, the year of release, and the face value of the silver coin (1000 Somali shillings)

The reverse of the Somalian Elephant Silver Coin displays a different design every year, but always shows the elephant either on its own or in a herd with a stunning background of the Somalian vistas with grasslands and sunsets or sunrises. Due to a new edition being released every year, collectors are able to distinguish between the coins and the year each was created.

The obverse consistently depicts the Somalian coat of arms which includes a shield with a star in the center supported by two leopards, the official national animal of Somalia, standing on two spears. The year of production surrounds the coat of arms along with "Somali Republic" written above.
