| Reverse description | A highly detailed, finely engraved frontal portrait of a leopard fills the central field, rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail capturing the animal's spotted coat, intense forward-gazing eyes, and powerful facial features. The legend LEOPARDS SILVER COIN curves along the upper periphery in bold Latin capitals. The inscription 1 OZ Fine Silver 999 is positioned in the lower portion of the field, confirming the coin's bullion specification. The mirror-like proof fields contrast with the frosted relief of the leopard portrait to dramatic effect. |

| Additional information |
The Gambia has issued commemorative silver under its own authority since independence in 1965, but the country's wildlife-themed bullion program has leaned heavily on international mint partnerships — most pieces in this series were produced by European contract minters with no meaningful connection to the issuing nation beyond licensing arrangements. At 65 mm, the planchet is oversized relative to a standard one-ounce format, a deliberate choice to maximize surface area for the design rather than any monetary consideration.
