Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse unfolds around a sacred ibis standing prominently within the composition while President Yahya Jammeh appears at the right side of the note. Beneath the principal imagery, monkeys, birds, trees, buildings, and a sailing boat emerge through delicate underprint elements, creating visual depth where wildlife and everyday surroundings merge with institutional symbolism. Geometric security devices and ornamental patterns strengthen the note’s structured modern appearance.

Reverse

The reverse presents the headquarters building of the Central Bank of The Gambia in Banjul. Its modern architectural form introduces a more institutional visual language, shifting the narrative from natural landscapes toward national administration and financial authority. The iridescent strip adds a subtle technological layer while preserving the note’s clean composition.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, this issue belongs to the final banknote family associated with President Yahya Jammeh before later political changes reshaped Gambian currency design. The combination of wildlife imagery, presidential portraiture, and institutional architecture creates a compelling intersection between state authority and the nation’s visual narrative.
