| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved facing bust of Henry Kissinger, slightly turned to the right, wearing spectacles and a suit with tie, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The legend PEACE FOR THE WORLD arcs along the upper periphery. The name HENRY KISSINGER appears in two lines to the left of the portrait, with the inscription 1/4 G .999 FINE GOLD positioned diagonally above. A small circular cartouche in the lower left field depicts a flying dove, symbolic of peace. The denomination 200 DALASIS is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
The Gambia has a long and somewhat notorious history of issuing gold coins featuring foreign statesmen with no meaningful connection to the country — a revenue model aimed squarely at the international collector market rather than any domestic monetary function. Kissinger's inclusion in this series almost certainly postdates the 2013 constitutional declaration of Gambia as an Islamic Republic under Yahya Jammeh, a period when the central bank increasingly licensed its name to foreign minting operations.
KM#123 is a collector piece with negligible bullion value at this weight.
