| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in red-orange on a light ground, centred on a vignette of a traditional Gambian sailing pirogue on the River Gambia, with palm trees and riverbank vegetation in the background. To the right, a large circular guilloche underprint forms the centrepiece, flanked by ornate lathe-work borders and denomination counters reading '£1' at each corner. Two facsimile signatures appear below the central vignette — those of the Chairman and Director — with bilingual inscriptions in Latin and Arabic script running along the lower margin. |
