Additional information

The Gambia has no meaningful historical or cultural connection to the Chinese lunar calendar, but since the 1990s the country has issued a steady stream of collector-oriented lunar series coins — a practice common among small nations whose mints operate almost entirely for the numismatic export market rather than domestic circulation. These pieces are produced for collector sets and never enter Gambian commerce.

The references cited — MIR, Crippa, and CNI — are catalogues associated with medieval Italian coinage, which suggests a data entry error in the source record.
