The elephant
The eldest knows the way.
Elephants live in families. A herd usually consists of related females and their young, led by the matriarch, as a rule the oldest and most experienced. She knows where to find food and water. When danger looms, the herd forms a ring, the young in the middle.
In a study published in 2001, researchers used playback experiments to show that the oldest female’s better ability to discriminate can influence the social knowledge of the whole group. Elephants can communicate through deep calls that lie partly below the range of human hearing and carry a long way.
The trunk is nose and upper lip at once. It lifts a log, and just as well a single piece of straw.

Silver – The White Gold with a Future
While gold often stands in the spotlight, silver is quietly and steadily developing into one of the most interesting precious metals of our time. Industrial demand is continuously rising – silver is indispensable, particularly in electronics, solar, and medical technology. At the same time, supply remains limited. This constellation makes silver a fascinating investment with substance.
Particularly pleasing: profits from the sale of physical silver are tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. The Somalia Elephant Set thus combines the passion of collecting with smart wealth investment.

The Day & Night Set 2026 continues this tradition in spectacular fashion.
