| Obverse description | The central field displays the coat of arms of the Republic of The Gambia, featuring a shield bearing two crossed axes, supported by two rampant lions, and surmounted by a helmet with a pelican crest. A ribbon below the shield carries the national motto in three sections: PROGRESS, PEACE, and PROSPERITY. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE GAMBIA arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 2014 inscribed at the base of the field. |

| Additional information |
Issued the same year Mandela died — he passed in December 2013, and this commemorative followed within months — the piece reflects the wave of memorial issues that flooded the market from issuers with no direct connection to South Africa. The Gambia has produced dozens of such gold miniatures under licensing arrangements, targeting collector markets rather than domestic circulation. At 0.5 grams, the gold content is nominal by any bullion standard.
