5 Algerian Dinars coin (Elephant)

5 Algerian Dinars (Elephant)

The five-dinar coin, here dated 2018, forms part of Algeria’s wildlife coinage recalling the fauna of the ancient Sahara. It is struck in a pale nickel-coloured alloy, a sturdy mid-value circulating coin with a milled or plain edge built for long service in daily use.

On the obverse, the value side shows a large numeral 5 within a decorative central field, ringed by the Arabic legend for the Bank of Algeria and flanked by small stars inside the raised rim. As with all Algerian coins, no monarch or head of state appears.

On the reverse, the coin depicts an elephant in relief, one of the great animals recorded in the prehistoric rock paintings of the Tassili n’Ajjer when the region was green. The Gregorian date 2018 and the matching Islamic year are set beside the design.
