Beschrijving keerzijde	Two male sprinters are portrayed in vigorous high relief, depicted mid-stride on a running track with arms extended, conveying the kinetic energy of competitive sprint athletics. Track lane markings are rendered in the lower portion of the field beneath the figures. The legend 'OLYMPIC GAMES 1996' is inscribed across the upper field, while the denomination '20 DALASIS' appears to the right of the athletic figures. The composition is executed against a deeply mirrored proof background, accentuating the sculptural quality of the figural devices. The design commemorates the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olympic Games.

Aanvullende informatie	The Gambia issued a wave of commemorative silver pieces throughout the early 1990s aimed squarely at the collector market, with almost no expectation of domestic circulation. This 1994 Olympic issue preceded the Atlanta Games by two years, part of a broader industry of licensed Olympic commemoratives that flooded the market during that decade — most struck by foreign minting houses under contract rather than any Gambian facility.
