| Comments |
The 200 Dalasi denomination was introduced in 2015 as the highest value note in Gambian circulation at the time, a practical response to inflation eroding the purchasing power of the existing 100 Dalasi ceiling. Thomas De La Rue's involvement is unsurprising — the London firm has printed Gambian currency through multiple series since independence, making it one of the more consistent relationships in West African note production.
Pick 36 carries only a watermark and security thread for authentication, a relatively minimal package by contemporary standards — notable given that counterfeit pressure on high-denomination notes in the region was a documented concern through the 2010s.
