Collection: Gambian Banknotes

The 2019 10-dalasi banknote brings back the fishing scene from the first Gambian banknote of 1971, but without the portrait of former president Yahya Jammeh, which was removed from the series after he left power in 2017.

From the dollar to the dalasi

The Gambia replaced the colonial pound with the dalasi in 1971, shortly after the Central Bank of The Gambia was created. The name blends the English word "dollar" with the Wolof term "butut," which means "small thing" and gives its name to the currency's subunit.

Boats, harvests, and a historic ferry

The first series featured sailboats on the obverse and scenes of agricultural work and cargo loading on the reverse. The current series adds African birds and the Kunta Kinteh ferry, a toponym linked to the slave route of the Gambia River.
