Beschrijving keerzijde	Three children in traditional dress are depicted dancing in the central field, rendered in moderate relief with expressive postures evoking movement and cultural celebration. The figures are set upon a textured ground line, with the central child shown in a forward-leaning dance pose flanked by two others. The arc legend 'THE SAVE THE CHILDREN FUND' curves along the upper periphery, while the denomination '20 DALASIS' is inscribed along the lower border, separated by pellet stops.

Aanvullende informatie	Part of a wave of Commonwealth-format commemoratives produced in the late 1980s under license arrangements with foreign minting houses — in this case almost certainly the Royal Mint or Pobjoy Mint acting on behalf of Banjul — these issues were designed primarily for the collector export market rather than domestic circulation. The Gambia's own monetary needs were modest, and hard currency from overseas coin sales was a practical revenue stream for a country then heavily dependent on IMF structural adjustment programs following the 1984 economic reforms under Jawara's government.
