200 Dalasis Nelson Mandela

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.
