| Reverse description | The central field displays a stylised outline map of The Gambia, showing the narrow country's distinctive elongated shape with the Gambia River rendered as a winding line through its interior, inscribed above with the country name THE GAMBIA. The commemorative dates 1965 - 2015 appear below the map, with the denomination 50,000 DALASIS beneath in smaller lettering. The surrounding border legend reads 50th ANNIVERSARY OF INDEPENDENCE, distributed around the full circumference of the coin. |

| Additional information |
The Gambia achieved independence from Britain on February 18, 1965, making this a 50th anniversary issue. The country's economic story since independence is a complicated one — a 1994 military coup brought Yahya Jammeh to power, and he governed until 2017, meaning this coin was issued under a government that most Western institutions formally considered authoritarian. Collector gold of this denomination from The Gambia is almost exclusively a bullion-adjacent commemorative market, with domestic circulation of any gold piece being essentially notional.
