| 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.
