1977 Gambia Gold 500 Dalasis Sitaunga Conservation Series BU
In 1977, the West African nation of The Gambia issued a remarkable gold coin denominated at 500 Dalasis. Minted in brilliant uncirculated condition, this piece contains nearly one full troy ounce of gold, specifically 0.9675 ounces of 0.999 fine gold. It stands as a beautiful representation of the country's coinage from the mid-century era. One side of the coin displays a left-facing bust of a president, surrounded by the inscription denoting the Republic of The Gambia. The other side is dedicated to the region's natural heritage, featuring a detailed depiction of a Sitatunga, a swamp-dwelling antelope. The animal is positioned so that it splits the face value of 500 Dalasis, creating a balanced and artistic layout that celebrates local wildlife conservation.
