10 Dalasis XIII Commonwealth Games

The XIII Commonwealth Games were held in Edinburgh in July 1986, but the event was overshadowed by a widespread boycott — 32 of 59 eligible nations withdrew in protest of the British government's refusal to impose economic sanctions on apartheid South Africa. The Gambia was among the boycotting nations, which makes this commemorative an oddity: a coin issued to honor a Games the issuing country refused to attend.
