I can't seem to find mintages for the 1oz coin somalian elephant coins. Does anyone know where i can find them?

Also, what year did they start? Previous years seem to be very hard to find, I am not necessarily looking to buy past years but would just like to know a bit more about the series as I am planning on buying from 2014 onwards.

To answer my own question :)

I think the gold Somalian elephant stated in 2006. Mintage on coins up to 2011 is 1850, I presume that is maximum mintage opposed to actual minted.

Recent years I am unsure about, but I believe the gold elephant to be a gold investment with a potential to increase in collectors premium, and also quite a beautiful series. I will definitely collect these moving forwards. Just need to start with the 2014.

I found this. I bet it's rarer than hen's teeth.

Uptil now I assumed that 2013 was the first year for 1 oz Somali gold ellies.

And it's on sale now. Where are you Morezone?

£1200 ish. Bit too much for me.

Nice find.

That is about a 50% additional premium to the current year. (Actually slightly more) which confirms why I believe the gold elephants to be good investments.

Been trying again but this mint is notoriously cagey and more often than not just ignores you. Was even told no comment by their MD about six months ago...

They probably have the mintage open. So in the future if the series gets popular they might be cheeky and do some remints. It's business after all, so if the demand is there and they haven't released final declared mintages then why not.
