200 Dalasis Sea turtle

The Gambia's gold coinage has no deep numismatic tradition to draw on — these fractional bullion issues are produced almost entirely for the international collector market, with little connection to domestic circulation or monetary policy. The sea turtle design is licensed through a Bavarian coin marketing arrangement typical of small-nation bullion programs, where the issuing country provides legal tender status and the distributor handles everything else.

At 0.331 g, this is a 1/100 oz equivalent piece — a denomination format pioneered by the Perth Mint and since replicated across dozens of jurisdictions.
