20 Dalasis Leopards silver coin

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.
