| Obverse description | Central field features the national coat of arms of The Gambia, depicting a shield charged with two crossed axes flanked by two rampant lions as supporters, surmounted by a plumed crest, with the national motto on a ribbon below. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE GAMBIA arcs along the upper border, while the denomination 200 DALASIS appears in the lower field. The date 2024 is split across the left and right fields flanking the arms, each element preceded or followed by a small star. The design is struck on a rectangular flan with a plain polished field in prooflike finish. |

| Additional information |
The Gambia's Central Bank has issued collector-focused wildlife pieces sporadically since the 1970s, but the shift to fractional white gold in recent years reflects a broader West African trend toward sub-gram bullion targeting the European collector market rather than domestic use. White gold at .900 fineness is an unusual alloy choice — yellow gold dominates this format — and likely reflects a mint partnership arrangement rather than any deliberate monetary policy.
