I am always excited when I get pictures from home that one of my orders arrived.
This release from the Bavarian State Mint in Munich is the newest addition to the African Wildlife series.
Unlucky for me and lucky for those who own them previous years have a high premium now.
For example the 2005 silver coin 10 oz bu is 172$ at APMEX.

The Wildlife series started 2000 and first showed 5000 Kwacha as value

I could not find a reason why they switched countries though if you you know why please enlighten me in the comments.
Nevertheless, it is a beautiful series I will probably never complete as the premium is too high for my taste

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
Beautiful. I use to collect when I was young and have a some proof sets (US Mint 1c,5c,10c,25c,50c). My aunt was a collector and got me into it. Your post reminded me that coin collecting led my interest in business school, stock market, finance and then to crypto and Steem. Wow... I just had an epiphany. That's a future blog I must work on. Thank you @flipstar

I do not understand the coin, but I'm sure it's fun. you have collected many collections of coins ranging from premium to gold.
and we enjoy what you share. Thank you very much.
Eine gute Wahl :-) Da werden noch andere Tiere im dazugesellen, denke ich
THese coins are amazing sir great to see those coins.
@flipstar I have bought some Somalia Elephants over the years. I have somewhat slowed down on them since there are so many choices for my money now days................
sooo cool with wildlife pictures!
These are so wonderful great work @francisk.
Your picture is good. Silver Coin Gold
Love the Somalia elephant series👍 Just showed off my 5 & 10 oz versions last week. Nice score
I have one of his gold 2018 brothers! Great design this year. Change of issuing country sometimes occurs when the local government wants more money or another government is cheaper. Ghana played a game with the Lunar skulls series I know. PS If you continue with silvergoldbotty in MAy , I would appreciate a free minnow position....
Silvergoldbotty ended the free minnow position. Now you must pay 2 steem or 50SP.
I didn't know that these gold elephant coins existed. I have several of the silver ones, but this gold one is beautiful.
These elephants are amazing great job @flipstar.
Wow now that's so beautiful coins great collection you got :D
What if one day you want to sell your coins? Could it and would it have enough value or is the value just sentimental or something?
Actually, I do not really understand, with the contents of your post this, but I want to know, and want to get upvote from you, best regards friend
Elephant logo with making amazing gold coin.
