| Additional information |
The Gambia's 1990s commemorative program was largely driven by foreign-market collector demand rather than domestic circulation needs — these pieces were produced for sale through international distributors and rarely, if ever, passed through Gambian hands as currency. The ocean scene issue fits squarely into that pattern.
