The term gilded refers to any item with a gold layer to finish some or all of the item. In the case of gilded coins, the most common application sees a small section of the design element finished with a layer of 24-karat gold to create visual contrast between the design element and the background field.
In the obverse design of 2023 Somalia Silver Elephant Coins, the mint depicts the Somali coat of arms. This design shows the national seal with its crowned shield and background of horizontal lines. A single star is set in front of these lines, with a beaded border around the field and leopards supporting the shield.
For the reverse design of the 2023 1 oz Silver Elephant, you will find a depiction of the African bush elephant. Here, the elephant is shown using its trunk to strip leaves from a branch to consume as part of its daily diet. In this release, the image of the African bush elephant has a thin layer of 24-karat gold.
