| Reverse description | A finely detailed forward-facing portrait of a lynx occupies the central field, rendered with naturalistic engraving of the animal's fur, characteristic facial tufts, and alert eyes. Tropical vegetation including palm trees and broad-leafed plants frame the composition in the background, suggesting an African savanna setting. The series title AFRICAN PRIDE arcs along the upper legend, while the circular inscription 1/2 G .9999 FINEST GOLD . 200 DALASIS runs along the lower periphery. To the left of the design, the circular African Pride series monogram AP appears above the date 2019. |

| Additional information |
The Gambia has no native lynx population and no particular historical connection to the species — this is squarely a bullion collectible issued for the international wildlife coin market, a revenue stream that small nations with minimal domestic coin demand have leaned on heavily since the 1990s. At 0.5 grams of .9999 gold, the metal content is negligible by bullion standards.
