This Premium Bullion coin from the India Wildlife Series is dedicated to the Elephant. He is considered a cultural icon of India and symbolizes divinity, power and luck.

The reverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as well as the denomination and year of issue. Indian elephants (genus Elephas) differ significantly from African elephants (genus Loxodanta): their physique is smaller and lighter, their ears are smaller and only the males have tusks. Similar to Africa, however, elephants in Asia are severely threatened by massive habitat loss, poaching and the illegal trade in ivory. The population in the wild has already declined by at least 50%, which is why they are currently listed as "endangered". This issue is limited to only 3,000 pieces worldwide. The India Wildlife Elephant Silver bullion coin is delivered loose.
