| Reverse description | A centrally positioned oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis), depicted in high relief with finely detailed fronds radiating symmetrically from a stout, textured trunk base. The numeral '1' appears to the upper left of the palm, while the denomination legend 'SHILLING' arcs along the upper portion of the field. The naturalistic rendering of the palm, designed by Michael Rizzello, serves as a prominent national emblem of The Gambia. |
