Reverse description A naturalistic full-body depiction of a long-necked wading bird, identified as a Purple Swamphen or similar wetland species, standing upright among marsh grasses and reeds against a deeply mirrored proof field. The bird is rendered in fine sculptural relief with carefully detailed plumage and scaly leg texture, its neck arched and head turned to the right. The numeral '20' appears in large raised figures in the upper left field, while the denomination 'DALASIS' is inscribed vertically along the right periphery in raised Latin lettering. The composition evokes the wetland wildlife of The Gambia, consistent with the Wildlife Conservation commemorative series.
