The Gambia's 1996 note issue came at a politically sensitive moment — just two years after Lieutenant Yahya Jammeh seized power in a bloodless coup, dissolving parliament and suspending the constitution. The Central Bank continued operating through the transition, and this series represented the first full currency issue under the new military-turned-civilian government, printed to specification by De La Rue under conditions of nominal institutional continuity despite the abrupt change in political authority.
P#17 carries only a watermark as its declared security feature, modest even by mid-1990s standards for De La Rue output.
