Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse unfolds around a carmine bee-eater positioned prominently within the composition while President Yahya Jammeh appears at the right side of the design. Beneath the principal imagery, monkeys, flying birds, trees, and a sailing boat emerge through intricate underprint elements, creating visual depth where wildlife and daily surroundings merge with symbols of state authority. Geometric security motifs and layered ornamental structures reinforce the note’s refined contemporary appearance.

Reverse

The reverse presents the Government House building in Banjul framed by landscaped surroundings and formal symmetry. Its stately architectural composition shifts the narrative toward governance and national administration, creating a measured visual balance between nature and institutional presence. The iridescent strip introduces a modern security element while preserving the design’s restrained rhythm.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, this issue belongs to the final banknote family associated with President Yahya Jammeh before later political transitions reshaped Gambian currency design. The combination of wildlife symbolism, presidential portraiture, and government architecture creates a compelling intersection between natural heritage and institutional authority.
