| Additional information |
Issued the same year the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted in New York — November 1989 — this piece was part of a wave of commemorative gold struck by smaller nations capitalizing on the campaign's global momentum. The Gambia's participation was largely coordinated through the Franklin Mint model of licensed commemorative production, which supplied collector markets in Europe and North America rather than domestic circulation.
KM#27 is the sole gold entry in this Save the Children series for the issuer.
