| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of The Gambia occupies the central field, depicting a heraldic shield charged with two crossed axes, supported by two rampant lions facing inward. Above the shield rises a crest composed of a helmet surmounted by an axe and flanked by foliage. A ribbon scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto in three parts: PROGRESS, PEACE, and PROSPERITY. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE GAMBIA arcs along the upper periphery in Latin lettering, and the date 2016 appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
The Gambia's Central Bank has issued a long-running series of small-format gold pieces tied to licensed fictional characters — a revenue program targeting the collector market rather than any domestic monetary need. This Rapunzel piece is part of that broader Disney-licensed run, produced almost certainly by a European contract mint and never intended for circulation in Banjul or anywhere else.
KM#126 confirms attribution, though collector documentation on exact mintage figures for individual titles in this series remains inconsistent across major references.
