| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene commemorating the 70th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, showing her effigy as a young woman in civilian dress inspecting a guard of honour composed of uniformed military figures standing at attention, with an officer at left presenting. The design is rendered in a flat relief engraving style with figures occupying the central field. The circular legend VIVAT REGINA ELIZABETHA arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by the dates 1926 and 1996 at either side. The denomination 10 DALASIS appears along the lower border, with decorative dot and colon separators throughout the inscription. |

| Additional information |
The Gambia's mid-1990s commemorative silver program targeted the collector market almost exclusively — domestic circulation of silver coinage was never a practical consideration for one of West Africa's smallest economies. This piece belongs to a run of issues produced under contract by outside minting facilities, as the Central Bank had no domestic striking capability of its own.
KM#50a designates the silver variant, implying a base-metal companion issue struck for wider distribution.
