50 Dalasis

The Gambia's 50 Dalasi was first issued in the mid-1990s under the AFPRC military government that had seized power in Yahya Jammeh's July 1994 coup — a period when the Central Bank was operating under significant political constraint. Thomas De La Rue's involvement provided a degree of institutional credibility to notes issued during what was, constitutionally speaking, an extra-legal administration.

Pick 19 carries only a watermark as its listed security feature, modest by the standards De La Rue was applying to other African issues of the same period.
