| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara, first President of the Republic of The Gambia, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE GAMBIA arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 1987 positioned below the portrait. The field is otherwise plain, and the design is contained within the heptagonal flan. |

| Reverse description | A large, naturalistically rendered slender-snouted crocodile (Mecistops cataphractus) depicted in a rearing posture, occupying the majority of the field, its mouth open and scaled body rendered in fine detail. The numeral 1 appears to the right of centre, flanked by a decorative sprig. The bilingual legend 1 DALASI in Latin script arcs along the lower right periphery, accompanied by the Arabic script دَلَسِ along the lower left. The composition fills the heptagonal flan effectively, with the crocodile's tail curving along the lower edge. |
