A ribbon below the shield bears the national motto in three registers. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE GAMBIA curves along the upper periphery, with the date 2015 inscribed in the lower field beneath the arms. |

| Additional information |
The Gambia has issued lunar series coinage intermittently since the 1990s, targeting the collector market rather than circulation — no piece this small was ever intended for everyday commerce. The Central Bank's lunar releases have drawn consistent criticism from numismatists for inconsistent die quality across the series, with some issues showing notable softness in the central devices.
KM# 137.1 distinguishes it from at least one catalogued variant, suggesting a die or issuer revision within the same year's production run.
